A case of spindle cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix

Abstract

Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma characterized histologically by a biphasic pattern with both squamous and spindle cell component. There is controversy in the histogenesis, biologic behavior, optimal treatment and prognostic factor for tumor. Treatment must be similar for squamous cell carcinoma. With a review of literature, we report a case of a 52-yearold female with spindle cell carcinoma in the uterine cervix, which has been managed by total hysterectomy.

Surgical excision of benign spindle cell neoplasm of the cervix predating miscarriage due to cervical insufficiency: A case report

“…Spindle cell tumours may be sarcomas or carcinomas, and can also be benign [ 6 ], as in the index case. Few cases of spindle cell neoplasm of the cervix are reported in the literature [ [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ], limiting the knowledge about its characteristics, and making this case report relevant. The occurrence of only spindle cells in the tumour without the presence of other cells makes this case rare.…”
