Abstract

Synovial sarcoma of primary bone origin is very rare and has not been previously reported in the cervical vertebra. We report the first case of a synovial sarcoma of the cervical vertebra, presenting as an expansile osteolytic lesion in the posterior osseous elements of the C3 vertebra characteristically with prominent intratumoral vessels.
