[Parapharyngeal synovial sarcoma].
A parapharyngeal biphasic synovial sarcoma arising in a 38-year-old man is reported. The rarity of this tumor in the head and neck and its multitude of histopathologic features are responsible for frequent initial misdiagnosis. The purpose of this report is to highlight the differential diagnosis with other cervical tumors.
