[Spindle cell sarcoma of the penis: a case report]

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Oncology
• Pathology

Background:

• A 75-year-old male patient presented with a penile tumor.
• The patient had a history of radiation therapy for prostate cancer 10 years prior.

Observation:

• A core biopsy confirmed a penile tumor.
• The patient underwent radical penectomy for treatment.

Findings:

• Pathological examination revealed a tumor composed of pleomorphic spindle cells.
• The diagnosis was spindle cell sarcoma, a rare penile malignancy.
• The causal link between prior radiation therapy and penile sarcoma was uncertain due to tumor location relative to the irradiation field.

Implications:

• This is the first reported case of penile spindle cell sarcoma.
• Highlights the importance of considering rare malignancies in penile tumors.
• Contributes to the limited literature on penile sarcomas and their potential associations.
