En Bloc Excision of Thoracic Paraspinal Synovial Sarcoma with Subtotal Spondylectomy

Abstract

We report a case of thoracic paraspinal synovial sarcoma in a 52-year-old man. It was treated with en bloc excision, subtotal spondylectomy, spinal and soft tissue reconstruction. The surgical technique, the approach of multilevel spinal osteotomy and literature review of this rare paraspinal tumour are discussed.
