    Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that commonly involves the lower extremities and occurs predominantly in young adults. It very rarely occurs in the head and neck region and carries a poor prognosis. The tumor demonstrates both a loco-regional and a systemic pattern of spread that makes management challenging. Combined modality therapy of this aggressive tumor yields better results. Herein, we described a 58 years old lady presented with left parapharyngeal synovial sarcoma. This is to demonstrate the aggressiveness of the disease despite complete surgical excision followed by post operative radiotherapy. Local regional control was difficult and recurrence of disease was seen in this particular patient.
