Primary Renal Synovial Sarcoma, a rare tumor, comprises of only 1% of all malignant tumours arising from the kidney. Synovial sarcomas are deep-seated tumors which arise in close proximity of large joints of young adults and comprise of 5–10% of all soft tissue neoplasms. Primary synovial sarcoma of kidney being rare carries a poor prognosis. It can only be diagnosed by Histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Here we present a case of a 43 year old male who presented to us with complaints of abdominal lump on the right side. Patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with right nephrectomy for renal mass. Histopathology confirmed it to be a Monophasic Synovial Sarcoma.
