We report a case of a 63 years-old-male with repeated bouts of confusion, aggressive behavior, dizziness and loss of consciousness occurring over a year. Such episodes increased in frequency and severity over time and were treated at the Emergency Room with intravenous dextrose solutions. Admitted at San Juan Bautista Medical Center due to severe hypoglycemia. Laboratory evaluation and prolong fasting ruled out an insulinoma or surreptitious administration of insulin or sulfonylurea. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with oral contrast demonstrated a huge intra-abdominal mass invading the mesentery with herniated components laterally in the right lower quadrant. Patient underwent surgical resection of the abdominal mass. Histological description demonstrated a neoplastic pattern. Immunohistochemistry was compatible with an undifferentiated Synovial Sarcoma.

We report a third case of a primary intramural synovial sarcoma of the lower gastrointestinal tract. A 50-year-old woman presented with hematochezia, dizziness and shortness of breath. CT imaging revealed a transverse colo-colonic intussusception with a colonic mass serving as a lead point. A subtotal colectomy was performed with oncologic resection of a sausage-like mass in the mid-transverse colon. Pathological assessment showed a biphasic synovial sarcoma. The postoperative hospital course was without complications and the patient was discharged home with plans for postoperative surveillance.
