A well differentiated synovial sarcoma was examined by electron microscopy. This study shows that the epithelioid cells lining the gland like spaces are lying on a basement membrane. These cells have filopodia on their free surfaces and have desmosomes. This further study of the fine structure of the synovial sarcoma suggests that there is a histogenetic relationship to the clear‐cell sarcoma described in a previous communication by the author.
