Spindle cell carcinoma is a unique, rare and peculiar biphasic tumour of head and neck which is not frequently observed in the oral cavity. This variant of squamous cell carcinoma although of monophasic epithelial origin, simulates a sarcoma and is an aggressive carcinoma with high frequency of recurrence and metastasis. A correct and timely diagnosis is of paramount importance. Most of the tumours require an Immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel for confirmation or diagnosis. We report a case of spindle cell carcinoma with varied histopathological morphology and clinical presentation in a middle aged female with a brief review of literature.
梭形细胞癌是一种独特、罕见且特殊的头颈部双相肿瘤,在口腔中并不常见。这种鳞状细胞癌变体虽然起源于单相上皮,但类似肉瘤,是一种具有高复发和转移频率的侵袭性癌。正确及时的诊断至关重要。大多数肿瘤需要免疫组织化学(IHC)检测来确诊。我们报告一例中年女性梭形细胞癌病例,其具有多样的组织病理学形态和临床表现,并对相关文献进行简要回顾。
