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.
  • S100 - neural marker, sensitive for malignant melanoma.
  • Desmin - smooth muscle.
  • MIB1 - proliferation.
  • CD99 - small round cell tumours, 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.[1][2]
  • PGP 9.5.
  • SMMS - smooth muscle.
  • Caldesmon - muscle.
  • PDGFR - GIST.
  • DOG-1 - GIST (membranous, cytoplasmic),[3] normal pancreas (islets),[3] 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%).[4]
