Laryngeal synovial sarcoma is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor. During the past four decades, literature findings revealed under 40 cases with this localization. We are bringing forward the case of a 70-year-old male patient who was referred to the ENT Clinic as a respiratory emergency – a tumor obstructing the laryngeal glottis, for which an emergency tracheotomy was initially performed, followed by a CT scan and a biopsy under general anesthesia through suspension videolaringoscopy. The histopathological report was suggestive of a biphasic synovial sarcoma. A multidisciplinary team set the surgical indication for total laryngectomy followed by chemo-radiotherapy. Long-term follow-up is mandatory for recurrence prevention. Patient has checked in for follow-up every 3 months over the past 2 years, with no macroscopic signs of tumoral relapse.

The use of composite systems in protecting, preserving and maintaining historical monuments has become more and more used. There are several consolidation procedures with fiber-reinforced polymeric polymers that can be applied as required or on the basis of the basic material (concrete, masonry, wood, etc.). Besides the many advantages it provides, the application of composite systems in the rehabilitation of heritage buildings and historical monuments requires minimal workmanship. More and more cities are actively involved in the rehabilitation and preservation of heritage buildings and historical monuments by launching good practice guides to preserve local cultural heritage by applying composite elements as robust as possible without the need to modify the overall dimensions of the buildings through a classic covering.
