Résumé
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an uncommon malignant tumor associated with poor prognosis, and SS arising from the trachea is even rarer, with only 3 cases reported previously. We present the case of a 19-year-old man for whom imaging studies revealed a mass of soft tissue density in the lower trachea. An en bloc trachea segmental resection and postoperative proton beam therapy were performed. Diagnosis was confirmed by the SS18-SSX gene rearrangement. The patient was alive without tumor recurrence for 18 months. This case report presents tracheal SS successfully treated with surgery and postoperative proton therapy.
