Abstract:
Spindle cell lipoma is a relatively rare adipocytic neoplasm that is easily mistaken for a liposarcoma, and is histologically characterized by a mixture of uniform spindle cells and mature fat cells. It occurs predominantly in male patients aged 45~65 years, and in most cases it arises in the subcutaneous tissue of the neck or shoulder. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman with spindle cell lipoma arising from the left pleural cavity.
