Hyalinizing spindle cell tumour with giant rosettes (HSTGR) is a rare and recently described tumour that arises most commonly from the peripheral and deep soft tissues. It can present as a large abdominal mass. We report the case of a 60 year old man who presented with abdominal distention. CT scan showed a mass occupying the whole of the abdomen and pelvis. Exploration of abdomen revealed a jelly like mass about 20 x 20 cm in size. Mass was excised completely and confirmed as spindle cell tumour between grade I-II on histopathology.
