Abstract:
Spindle cell lipoma is a benign, subcutaneous neoplasm typically located on the neck, back and shoulder of men. Pseudoangiomatous spindle cell lipoma is a rare variant of spindle cell lipoma that is characterized by non-vascular branching spaces. A 64-year old man presented with 2 masses on the abdomen. Although 1 tumor had a very low fat component, it could be histologically diagnosed as pseudoangiomatous spindle cell lipoma due to CD 34 positive spindle cells, ropey collagen and blood vessels. We report a case of pseudoangiomatous spindle cell lipoma on the abdomen, which was diagnostically difficult due to a scanty fat component.
