Comprehensive Review of Reported Nonclassical Spindle Cell Lipoma Presentations and a Unique Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare subset of benign lipomatous neoplasms, making up approximately 1.5% of all adipocytic neoplasms. Since SCLs were first described in 1975, numerous nonclassical cases have been reported in the literature, with variation in location, cytologic composition, patient demographic, and progression. Although some previous reports review related cases of specific rare presentations or institution-based summaries, no comprehensive summary of published nonclassical SCL case reports has been done.

Methods

PubMed was queried for nonclassical presentations of SCL from 1978 to 2018. The nonclassical characteristics were analyzed and described. Those with multiple nonclassical features were studied for common characteristics. The Fisher exact
