Özet
Aim: Spindle cell lipoma is a rare tumor. Although located subcutaneously, they are localized in the posterior neck, shoulder, and lumbar regions. It can radiologically mimic liposarcoma. It is important to differentiate spindle cell lipoma from atypical lipomatous tumors. In this study, we aimed to present our studies on our patients with spindle cell lipoma with histopathological and clinical findings and give brief information about the differential diagnosis of this rare lipomatous lesion. Material and Methods: A total of 29 patients (27 male, 2 female) who underwent surgical treatment for spindle cell lipoma between January 2015 and December 2020 were included in this retrospective study. All patients were presented with mass lesions, and preoperative biopsy was performed in cases with low-fat content mass lesions. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.0±14.6 (range, 25-79) years and the mean follow-up period was 25.0±8.6 (range, 6-47) months. No additional disease was detected in the patients. Marginal resection was preferred in 5 (17.2%) patients with lesions close to neurovascular structures. Wide resection was performed in the other 24 (82.8%) patients. CD34 was positive in all lesions. In one patient, CDK4 was positive, and the diagnosis was made as atypical spindle cell lipoma. At the last follow-up, there was no complication and recurrence in any of the cases. Conclusion: Spindle cell lipomas should be regarded in the differential diagnosis of lipomatous tumors. Local excision with negative margins may prevent a recurrence. Correct histopathologic differentiation from liposarcoma is of paramount importance for appropriate treatment.
