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.
- Carcinoma, e.g. metaplastic carcinoma.
Microscopic
Grouping by pleomorphism
- Monomorphic - small variation of tumour cell size.
- Pleomorphic - large variation of tumour cell size.
DDx - monomorphic:
- Synovial sarcoma.
- Fibrosarcoma.
- MPNST.
- Metaplastic carcinoma, e.g. metaplastic breast carcinoma.
DDx - pleomorphic:
- Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma.
- Pleomorphic liposarcoma.
- Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma.
- Pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma.
- Metaplastic carcinoma.
- Malignant melanoma.
Grouping by pattern
IHC
Basic panel
Dixon panel:[1]
- CD34.
- Desmin.
- SMA.
- S100.
- AE1/AE3 (pankeratin).
Memory device SCADS or CAD SS = S100, CD34, AE1/AE3, Desmin, SMA.
Big panels
A MSH MFH panel
- CD34 - GIST, angiosarcoma, solitary fibrous tumour/hemangiopericytoma, Kaposi sarcoma, DFSP, PASH.
- S100 - neural marker, sensitive for malignant melanoma, Langerhans cells, clear cell sarcoma.
- Desmin - smooth muscle.
- MIB1 - proliferation.
- CD99 - immature T cells (thymus), small round cell tumours, synovial sarcoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, osteosarcoma.[2]
- Considered "slutty", i.e. non-specific, by Dr. Fletcher; useful if membranous stain pattern = Ewing sarcoma/PNET.
- BCL2 - synovial sarcoma, small cell lymphomas, spindle cell lipoma,[3][4] solitary fibrous tumour.
- PGP 9.5.
- SMMS - smooth muscle.
- Caldesmon - muscle.
- PDGFR - GIST
- DOG-1 - GIST (membranous, cytoplasmic),[5] normal pancreas (islets),[5] associated with BRCA1.
Others:
- Beta-catenin - a small subset of soft tissue lesions:
- Desmoid-type fibromatosis (~70%), solitary fibrous tumour & endometrial stromal sarcoma (~40%), synovial sarcoma (~30%).[6]
DJH panels
MFH
- Vimentin.
- Keratin 5D3 - carcinomas.
- Keratin LP34 - carcinomas.
- EMA.
- CD99.
- MSA.
- SMA.
- Caldesmon.
- CD34.
- S-100 - neural tumours.
- HMB45 - melanoma
- Mart-1 - melanoma.
- Tyrosinase.
- MYF-4 - RMS.
- Alpha-1-antichymotrypsin.
SRCT
Same as MFH panel plus the following:
- CD45.
- CD30.
- CD3.
- CD20.
- Desmin.
- CD31 - angiosarcoma.
- Factor VIII - angiosarcoma.

- Bone.
- Dermatopathology.
- Hematopathology.
- Soft tissue lesions.
- Immunohistochemistry.
- Spindle cell.
- Epithelioid cell lesions.
Treatment
- It depends on the subtype.
- Malignant lesions are usually sarcomas and treated with radiation and surgery.[7]
