Abstrakt: | Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) comprise a heterogeneous category of malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal tissue. Spindle cell sarcoma, characterized by its infrequent occurrence, poses diagnostic and therapeutic complexities owing to its rarity. We present a case of an 80-year-old male with a diagnosis of spindle cell sarcoma in the retroperitoneal space. The patient underwent midline exploratory laparotomy for tumor excision and was planned for postoperative chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the tumor recurred aggressively, leading to a fatal outcome. This case highlights the uncommon occurrence of retroperitoneal spindle cell sarcoma (RPSCS) and the importance of accurate diagnosis, appropriate surgical management, and adjuvant therapy.
