Abstract:
Spindle cell hemangioma is an uncommon variant of vascular tumor, and it was first described as a unique vascular lesion that's characterized by cavernous blood vessels separated by spindle cells. It is recently thought to be a benign hemangioma with a reactive process. It mostly affects the distal extremities and it present as single or multiple lesions that are often painful. Histologically, thin-walled cavernous vessels are seen to be intermixed with varying proportions of bland spindle cells with vesicular nuclei. We report here on an interesting case of spindle cell hemangioma in a 39-year-old woman.
