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):

Others:

  • Beta-catenin - a small subset of soft tissue lesions:
    • Desmoidtype fibromatosis (~70%), solitary fibrous tumour & endometrial stromal sarcoma (~40%), synovial sarcoma (~30%).[5]
