A biphasic tumour is a truly histological term that refers to neoplastic tissue which is characterized by two different cellular elements. Several histogenetic theories have been proposed for the aetiogenesis of the biphasic tumours. Literatures have been published on the individual lesions, which have described their biphasic nature but, biphasic tumours have not been categorized singly . Categorizing biphasic tumours is not likely to highlight diagnostic standards, but it may sensitize the therapeutic planning and post operative monitoring. This review article focuses on the histogenetic concepts of biphasic tumours, and the histopathological description of the lesions that are suggested to be biphasic tumours.

Spindle cell soft tissue neoplasms are rarely reported in the oral cavity and account for less than 1% of all tumors. Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) synonymously called sarcomatoid tumor occurs mainly in the upper aerodigestive tract. This peculiar malignant neoplasm predominantly affects males in 6-7 th decades of life. SpCC is potentially aggressive with a high incidence of metastases. Its precise and early diagnosis is the key to good prognosis. We report a case of SpCC in a 50-year-old male patient with special reference to histogenesis of this entity. SpCC is an aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma which needs to be identified and differentiated from the other spindle cell tumors for proper treatment.
