HyperArc radiotherapy for recurrent synovial sarcoma of infratemporal fossa: a rare case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Synovial sarcoma (SS), a malignant and uncommon soft tissue sarcoma, typically manifests in the extremities and trunk. However, its occurrence in the infratemporal fossa (ITF) of the head and neck is exceedingly rare. Patients afflicted with SS in this anatomical region pose considerable challenges, as radical surgery is often difficult to undertake, leading to a high rate of postoperative recurrence. Moreover, it is often difficult to effectively control the tumor when the cancer relapses. Much of our understanding regarding SS of ITF stems from limited case reports, with a lack of established clinical guidelines for its management. There exists a significant clinical need for effective therapeutic approaches.
