Spindle cell tumour presenting as an abdominal mass

Area of Science:

• Oncology
• Pathology
• Surgical Oncology

Background:

• Hyalinizing spindle cell tumour with giant rosettes (HSTGR) is a rare neoplasm.
• HSTGR typically originates in peripheral and deep soft tissues.

Observation:

• A 60-year-old male presented with abdominal distention.
• CT imaging revealed a large abdominal and pelvic mass.
• Surgical exploration identified a significant, jelly-like mass.

Findings:

• The abdominal mass was completely excised.
• Histopathological examination confirmed a spindle cell tumour.
• The tumour was classified as grade I-II.

Implications:

• This case expands the known clinical presentations of HSTGR.
• Complete surgical excision is a viable treatment approach.
• Further research into HSTGR is warranted for better understanding and management.
