Introduction. Leiomyosarcoma of the penis (LSP) is an extremely rare form of penile tumor.
LSP can be divided into two subtypes: deep and superficial. The goal of
this manuscript is to present very rear case of LSP. Case outline. On exam,
the patient presented with a slowly “growing penile bump“, for which an
initial diagnosis of non-inflamed penile atheroma was given. Further
diagnostic workup was omitted. Outpatient excisional biopsy was performed,
and the tumor was sent for pathohistological examina-tion (PHE), which
revealed LSP. The patient has not received any further treatment. The most
recent follow up was 2.5 years after surgery, and the patient continues to
do well without any complications. Conclusion. LSP is an extremely rare
disease which can be cured if it is diagnosed in its early stage. PHE is
necessary for diagnosis of LSP.
