Mesenchymal tumors arising in the penis are extremely uncommon. Sarcomas must be distinguished from sarcomatoid squamous carcinomas, owing to their treatment and prognostic implications. We report a rare case of leiomyosarcoma of the penis in a 70-year-old patient. Histopathology was of a high-grade spindle cell sarcoma, initially reported as sarcomatoid carcinoma on biopsy, subsequently confirmed on partial penectomy as a leiomyosarcoma.

Subcutaneous leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are rare soft tissue sarcomas arising from small-to-medium-sized blood vessels. Involvement of the anterior abdominal wall is extremely rare. We present a case of a 72-year-old gentleman who presented with 3 months history of a progressively increasing mass in the supra-pubic region reaching the root of the penis without any regional lymphadenopathy.

Background: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant spindle-cell mesenchymal tumor originating from the smooth muscle cells, which mostly affects soft tissues and abdominopelvic organs over extremities. Primary LMS of the penis is a relatively uncommon mesenchymal tissue disease and a poorly understood condition.
Case Report: A 69-year-old man presented with a growing, painless mass protruding from the penis.

Introduction: Primary skin leiomyosarcomas are infrequent neoplasms. They correspond to 2-3% of skin sarcomas and are most frequently located on the lower extremities, trunk and genitals.
Methods: We present a case of a 73-year-old man with a 4-month evolution of foreskin leiomyosarcoma.
Article Synopsis
- Penile leiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that originates from smooth muscle tissue in the penis, which can come from various anatomical sources.
- A case is presented involving a 70-year-old man with a slowly growing penile mass and phimosis over the course of a year.
- Treatment and prognosis depend on the tumor's classification as superficial or deep, with superficial tumors treated with local excision, while deep tumors may necessitate more extensive surgery due to higher risks of metastasis.
