Abstract
Synovial sarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor of soft tissue. Its location in the parotid gland is exceptional. 55-year-old patient, with no specific history, with a history of slow evolution over one year of a mass in the right parotid region. The computed tomography objectified a tumor at the expense of the lobulated right parotid with serpiginous calcifications taking contrast on the periphery measuring 4 / 2.5 cm. The patient was initially treated by surgery and radiotherapy.The evolution was marked by good locoregional control without metastasis with a decline of four years. The diagnosis of parotid gland synovial sarcoma is confirmed by immunehistochemistry. Surgery combined to radiotherapy seems to be the best treatment.
