Abstract :

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumour. Of all the malignant sarcomas, synovial sarcoma constitutes about 4-8%.

Aim: To highlight the importance of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma and discuss the various differential diagnosis.

Material and methods:

We report a case of monophasic synovial sarcoma in a 42 year old female who presented with right gluteal mass. FNAC was reported as atypical epithelial neoplasm. Excision biopsy was done and was confirmed as synovial sarcoma by histology and immunohistochemistry.

Conclusion:

This case is presented to emphasize on the need of immunohistochemistry to differentiate monophasic synovial sarcoma from other similar lesions.
