Primary intra-abdominal synovial sarcomas are rare soft tissue malignancies. Herein, we present a case of poorly differentiated monophasic synovial sarcomain ileum mesenterieswith pulmonary metastasis. The patient was a 47-year-old female with a history of cough with variable expectoration and paroxysmal abdominal pain for two months. The tumor was located in ileum mesenteries and composed of monophasic spindle tumor cells with active mitosis and massive necrosis. Tumor cells were positive for vimentin and BCL-2 by immunohistochemistry staining and positive for SYT gene break apart by dual color break apart fluorescence in situ hybridization assay. The differential diagnosis includes gastrointestinal stromal tumour and other mesenchymal tumour.
