A case of primary pharynx synovial sarcoma was reported in this paper. A 15-year-old male patient experienced painless pharyngeal swelling that gradually proliferated for 1 month. Special examination showed an 8 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm tumor located in the left pharynx and the supratonsillar crypt. Imaging tests revealed an irregular mass on the left side of the oropharynx and an unclear boundary. Immunohistochemical examination yielded the following results: epithelial membrane antigen (+), cytokeratin (CK)19 (+), CD7(+), vimentin (+), CK10(-), E-cadherin (+), B-cell lymphoma-2 (-), CD2 (-), CD10 (-), CD138 (+), CD99 (+), leukocyte common antigen (+), and Ki-67 (20%+). This condition was pathologically diagnosed as primary pharynx synovial sarcoma.

Objective:To investigate the effects of customized dental-bone supported osteotomy guide plate in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy.Methods:24 patients(48 sides)with maxillofacial deformity underwent BSSO were included.The maxillofacial region of all patients was scanned by CT,the plaster dental models were scanned using laser surface scanner,and the 3D models were established.The osteotomy guide plates of the inner horizontal and anterior sagittal bone incision of mandible ramus were manufactured by digital technology.All splits underwent operation with(27 side)and without(21 sides)the osteotomy guide plate respectively by the same doc-tor,and the time for the inner horizontal and anterior sagittal bone incision of mandible ramus was recorded.Postoperative CT scan was performed to evaluate the surgical effects according to the lingual split scale(LSS)classification.Results:The wound in all patients healed well and no serious complication was observed.The time for the inner horizontal and anterior sagittal bone incision of mandible ramus in plate group and no plate group was(125.67±2.23)s and(141.15±3.69)s respectively(P＜0.05).The probability of mandi-ble splitting according to Hunsuck standard osteotomy line increased from 42.86％to 66.67％,and the probability of osteotomy line passing through mandibular nerve canal decreased from 33.33％to 7.41％,by using osteotomy guide plate.In addition,LSS4 type of osteotomy line was avoided by using osteotomy guide plates.Data analysis showed that the split pattern of sagittal split osteotomy of the mandibular ramus was influenced by the application of osteotomy guide plates(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The customized dental-bone supported osteotomy guide plate is effective in the completion of the operation and reducing time consuming and surgical complication in BSSO.

Rosai-Dorfman disease(RDD)is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.The etiology and pathogenesis of RDD have not been fully explained,and its occurrence is even rarer in the maxillofacial region.This paper reported a patient who was first misdiagnosed as facial inflammation caused by oral disease and finally diagnosed as RDD.Clinical features,diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis were discussed based on the literature.This work provides reference for fu-ture diagnosis and differentiation of RDD in cheek.
