Atypical spindle cell lesions of the skin are uncommon but seen with enough frequency that one ought to be familiar with them.[1]

Spindle cell lesions of the skin directs here.

Classic

The differential diagnosis of atypical skin spindle cell lesions is SLAM:

Extended

DFSP. H&E stain.

A longer differential diagnosis that includes lesions with less atypia is SLAM DUNK:
