Originated from mesenchymal cells, the sarcoma is rare in the anorectal area. The authors report a case of anorectal sinovial sarcoma, extremely rare in this location with no previous reports on literature. It's described a case of a 77 years old patient presenting an anal tumor, associated to pain, bleeding, tenesmus and weight loss. A synovial sarcoma was diagnosed after biopsy and imunohistochemical study. The pacient was submitted to a Miles procedure being assymptomatic and without any signs of disease in the last seven months.
