Summary:Abstract Primary spindle cell sarcoma of prostate is an extremely rare malignancy and very few cases of it have been reported [1, 2]. We searched literature through Med-Line database using Pub-Med 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 tumour; very few were found discussing the surgical management. We here present a case of localized primary spindle cell sarcoma of prostate operated at our institute with the difficulties we faced and their management.
