A 33-year-old male patient was complaining about shoulder pain and swelling in his neck. The computed
tomography of the patient revealed a mass lesion extending from the supraclavicular region to the upper
level of the aortic arch. The patient was operated with the Grunenwald incision approaching from the
anterior. The mass was separated from the tissues and totally excised. The histopathological examination
reported a biphasic synovial sarcoma. Here we evaluated a very rare case of primary synovial sarcoma
in the context of the literature, localized at the thoracic inlet and excised by the Grunenwald incision.
