A case report on atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor: A rare entity

INTRODUCTION: Atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor (ASPLT), a separate entity for the group of benign/low grade adipocytic neoplasm that is characterized by adipocyte adequacy and the presence of lipoblast-like cells and spindle cells at varying degrees. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a rare c...

Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor (ASPLT), a separate entity for the group of benign/low grade adipocytic neoplasm that is characterized by adipocyte adequacy and the presence of lipoblast-like cells and spindle cells at varying degrees. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a rare case of 60 years old male with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the anterior abdominal wall. DISCUSSION: Histopathology is the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis and grade of soft tissue tumor and consistent radiology-pathology correlation is essential to avoid any diagnostic pitfalls [1]. Ultrasound is preferred as an initial investigation for superficially located lesions. CONCLUSION: ASPLT show a wide variety of microscopic features, and differential diagnosis is important and difficult. Recognition of morphologic clues and immunohistochemistry/molecular tests to confirm the diagnosis.
