Primary synovial sarcoma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare, aggressive, and has a dismal prognosis. We report the case of a 15-year-old male who presented with a progressively increasing neck mass, which was excised and the histopathological and immunohistochemical study suggested biphasic synovial sarcoma of the thyroid gland which was confirmed by synovial sarcoma translocation. There are 14 cases of primary synovial sarcoma of the thyroid reported in the literature so far. This study aimed to document the occurrence of synovial sarcoma histology at an unusual anatomical location with a review of the literature on this rare entity.
