Abstract

Synovial sarcomas are exceedingly rare neoplasms of the digestive tract. We herein report a case of a synovial sarcoma occurring in the esophagus of a 20-year-old man. He had a history of acute lymphocytic leukemia and had undergone aggressive chemotherapy between the ages of 4 and 8 years. The tumor, which was large and extended into the upper mediastinum, was successfully resected without an esophagectomy via the cervical approach. After postoperative radiation and chemotherapy, the patient remained healthy, without any evidence of disease 20 months after the operation.
