TLE1 is a well-established marker for synovial sarcoma (SS). However, TLE1's diagnostic utility is limited by its expression in a broad range of tumor types, reducing its specificity for SS. This study explores TLE1 expression across SRCTs and proposes an immunohistochemical algorithm to enhance diagnostic accuracy. <i>Methods.</i> This retrospective, single-center observational study, conducted from 2019 to 2024, reviewed pathology records for SRCTs.

TLE1 2 + was noted in lymphoblastic lymphoma and desmoplastic SRCT, while TLE1 1 + was seen in some gastrointestinal stromal tumors. The remaining specimens were negative for TLE1. These findings led to a diagnostic framework for SRCTs based on TLE1 expression patterns. <i>Conclusions.</i> Although TLE1 is a key marker for SS, its expression in other tumors can present diagnostic challenges.
