| Summary: | Penile cancer is an uncommon malignancy. Squamous cell carcinoma constitutes approximately 95% of all histology. Non-squamous
malignancies are rare in penis. Sarcomas of penis are rarer among them. Spindle cell sarcoma is one of the extremely rare sarcoma
of penis. To best of our knowledge, only two cases have been reported so far, one in English literature and other in Japanese. We
are presenting this uncommon case of spindle cell sarcoma of penis, which was diagnosed with microscopy with its characteristic
immunohistochemistry. The disease had an aggressive course with multiple recurrences in a short duration despite margin negative
resection. Disease responded poorly with the chemotherapy and patient succumbed to the disease. |
