Synovial sarcoma of primary bone origin arising from the cervical spine.
Synovial sarcoma of primary bone origin is very rare and has not been previously reported in the cervical vertebra. We report the first case of a synovial sarcoma of the cervical vertebra, presenting as an expansile osteolytic lesion in the posterior osseous elements of the C3 vertebra characteristically with prominent intratumoral vessels.
