Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare, uncommon neoplasm of the soft tissue, unrelated to the synovium and shows variable epithelial differentiation. It usually occurs in the soft tissue of the extremities, less common in the head and neck region, and rarely in the oral cavity. We report a case of poorly differentiated SS of the mandible in a 40-year-old female, which was unique to diagnose histopathologically and immunohistochemically by using a panel of markers. We also highlight that this being the first case report of poorly differentiated SS occurring in the mandible.
