Abstract :

Aim: Primary biphasic type synovial sarcoma of the thyroid gland is an extremely rare condition. Very few such cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report another case of primary biphasic type synovial sarcoma of the thyroid gland which was diagnosed preoperatively in a 13 years old female patient. Methods and Results: The tumor showed typical histological and immunohistochemical features of biphasic synovial sarcoma in pre–operative biopsy, fine needle aspiration smears and in excision specimen. Conclusion: Such case reports may serve as the reference for clinicians and pathologists. Because of the aggressive nature of this tumor, early di¬agnosis and comprehensive treatment including wide resection and adjuvant chemo–radiation is required.
