Spindle cell carcinoma is an uncommon variant of squamous cell carcinoma that is rarely seen in children. The spindle cell pattern is frequently confused with sarcomas. A case of spindle carcinoma in a 14-year-old boy is presented. He is the youngest patient, to the authors' knowledge, with spindle cell carcinoma of the maxilla. Electron microscopic examination is helpful to define the epithelial nature of the spindle cells and can be performed on formalin-fixed tissue. Electron microscopic examination is essential to formulate an optimal treatment plan.
梭形细胞癌是鳞状细胞癌的一种罕见变异型,在儿童中很少见。梭形细胞形态常与肉瘤相混淆。本文报告一例14岁男孩的梭形细胞癌。据作者所知,他是上颌骨梭形细胞癌最年轻的患者。电子显微镜检查有助于确定梭形细胞的上皮性质,且可在福尔马林固定的组织上进行。电子显微镜检查对于制定最佳治疗方案至关重要。
