Muktanjalee Deka, Bini Borah

Abstract :

Primary spindle cell sarcoma is a rare neoplasm constituting 0.2–1% of all mammary malignancies comprising of <5% of all soft tissue tumors and spindle cell sarcomas being one of the most common subtypes . Here we report a case of 38 years old female with swelling in the left east for a period of 2 years . FNAC was performed and was diagnosed as malignant spindle cell lesion with differential diagnosis of metaplastic carcinoma of east and malignant phyllodes tumor . The patient underwent simple mastectomy and after both histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the post–mastectomy specimen , the case was reported as intermediate grade spindle cell sarcoma of east . Four months later patient was readmitted with recurrence of the tumor mass at the mastectomy site and the tumor was again diagnosed as intermediate grade spindle cell sarcoma as before . Primary spindle cell sarcoma often carries a poor prognosis . Combination of histopathological and immunohistochemical examination is mandatory for diagnosis
