Spindle cell lipoma
Diagnosis in short

Micrograph showing a spindle cell lipoma. H&E stain.
LM aligned bland spindled cells adjacent to fat, rope-like collagen bundles (key feature), +/-myxoid component, +/-staghorn-like vessels
LM DDx neurofibroma, spindle cell liposarcoma, pleomorphic lipoma
Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign

Spindle cell lipoma is a rare benign adipocytic tumour.

General

  • Rare.
  • Predominantly men.[1]

Note:

  • Spindle cell lipoma may immunohistochemically and histomorphologically overlap with mammary-type myofibroblastoma[2] - see: mammary myofibroblastoma.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Aligned bland spindled cells adjacent to fat.
  • Rope-like collagen bundles - key feature.
    • May be described as "shreaded wheat".
  • +/-Myxoid component.
  • +/-Staghorn-like vessels.

Notes:

DDx:

Images

  • SSL - low mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • SSL - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • SSL - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

IHC

  • CD34 +ve.[5]
  • Desmin +ve.
  • S100 -ve. (???)

Lipoma versus liposarcoma:

Molecular

  • Retinoblastoma (Rb) deletions.[7]
  • CDK4 no amplication (FISH).[7]
