Spindle cell lesions are seen frequent enough that one ought to have a solid approach to 'em.
General DDx
Spindle cells should make think:
- Nerve.
- Muscle.
- Smooth.
- Skeletal.
- Other.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma
Work-up (MSH):
- CD34 - GIST, angiosarcoma, solitary fibrous tumour/hemangiopericytoma, Kaposi sarcoma.
- S100 - neural marker, sensitive for malignant melanoma, Langerhans cells, clear cell sarcoma.
- Desmin - smooth muscle.
- MIB1 - proliferation.
- CD99 - immature T cells (thymus), small round cell tumours, synovial sarcoma, merkel cell carcinoma, osteosarcoma.[1]
- Considered "slutty", i.e. non-specific, by Dr. Fletcher; useful if membranous stain pattern = Ewing sarcoma/PNET.
- BCL2 - synovial sarcoma, small cell lymphomas, spindle cell lipoma.[2][3]
- PGP 9.5.
- SMMS - smooth muscle.
- Caldesmon - muscle.
- PDGFR - GIST.
- DOG-1 - GIST (membranous, cytoplasmic),[4] normal pancreas (islets),[4] associated with BRCA1.
Others:
- Beta-catenin - a small subset of soft tissue lesions:
- Desmoidtype fibromatosis (~70%), solitary fibrous tumour & endometrial stromal sarcoma (~40%), synovial sarcoma (~30%).[5]
