## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of spindle cell sarcoma with an unusual asymptomatic brain metastasis in an adult male.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare case with asymptomatic cerebellar metastasis, which is uncommon in spindle cell sarcomas.

## Key findings

- The patient presented with non-specific symptoms but was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma.
- A cerebellar metastasis was found incidentally and was asymptomatic.
- Such cases are rarely reported in the literature due to their low prevalence.

## Abstract

Sarcomas are one of the rarest cancers, occurring in less than 1% of all adult malignancies. Spindle cell sarcomas are one subset of soft tissue sarcomas that are even less commonly reported in the literature due to the scarcity of cases, especially with the presence of brain metastases. We present a case of an adult male who presented with non-specific exertional dyspnea and chest pain, which was found to have spindle cell sarcoma with cerebellar metastasis.
