Zusammenfassung:	Synovial cell sarcoma is a soft tissue tumor that occurs predominately in the lower limbs near the joints. Lesions of the head and neck are extremely rare.

We report the case of a 37-year-old man with primary laryngeal synovial cell sarcoma, who was surgically managed by a narrow field laryngectomy.
