Synovial sarcoma is a mesenchymal neoplasm that shows a specific t(X;18) translocation that leads to the formation of SS18-SSX gene fusions and is most commonly seen in soft tissues of the extremity. The gastrointestinal tract is a very rare site of involvement. We report a case of primary gastric synovial sarcoma in a 13-year-old male child. Synovial sarcoma should be included in the differential diagnosis when spindle cell neoplasms are encountered in the stomach. A high degree of suspicion, followed by the necessary immunohistochemistry and molecular studies, is required to make an accurate diagnosis.
