Abstract:
Primary spindle cell sarcoma of prostate is an extremely rare malignancy and very few cases of it have been reported Ozturk and Sivrikoz, 2013; Hansel and Epstein, 2006. We searched the literature through MEDLINE database using PubMed and Scopus for the articles published between January 1988 and September 2016. Our search was limited to the following keywords: "spindle cell sarcoma," "prostate," and "surgical management." Most of the papers focused on histopathology of the tumor, and very few discussed surgical management. We present a case of localized primary spindle cell sarcoma of the prostate operated at our institute with the difficulties we faced and their management.
