Primary leiomyosarcoma of the penis is an extremely rare tumor. It presents in fifth to seventh decade of life. No effective treatment for metastatic disease has been found till date. We report a rare case of deep seated penile leiomyosarcoma with unusual natural disease course in a 51 year old male along with brief review of literature.
