Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumours that can affect the skin. They are dominated by Kaposi's sarcoma and dermatofibrosarcoma. Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a very rare entity. We report the case of a 78-year-old patient who presented with a primary frontal cutaneous leiomyosarcoma treated surgically with a good outcome at the last follow-up. The objective of this work is to identify the epidemiological, clinical, anatomopathological, therapeutic and prognostic particularities of this pathology through a review of the literature.

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. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvis showed a large heterogeneous mass in the lower abdomen indenting the penile corpora. Complete pathological clearance was achieved by wide excision of the mass with total penectomy and cutaneous urethrostomy. The patient received adjuvant radiation therapy and is free of local recurrence or distant metastasis two years after the surgery.
