A spindle cell lesion (MPNST). H&E stain.

Spindle cell lesions are seen frequent enough that one ought to have a solid approach to 'em.

A general introduction to spindle cells is found in the spindle cell article.

General DDx

Spindle cells should make think:

  • Nerve.
  • Muscle.
    • Smooth.
    • Skeletal.
  • Other.
    • Carcinoma, e.g. metaplastic carcinoma.

A long differential diagnosis of spindle cell tumours

Grouping by pleomorphism

  • Monomorphic - small variation of tumour cell size.
  • Pleomorphic - large variation of tumour cell size.

Treatment

  • It depends on the subtype.
  • Malignant lesions are usually sarcomas and treated with radiation and surgery.[17]
