Spindle cell lipoma (SCL), first described by Enzinger and Harvey in 1975, is a benign lesion similar to a pleomorphic lipoma. It is a rare type of lipoma that contains spindle cells and grows mostly in the subcutaneous tissues, but purely dermal tumors may also occur. It is reported in about 1.5% of all lipomatous tumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spindle cell lipoma often develops in the back, shoulder, and posterior neck. However, there have been reported cases of its occurrence at other sites albeit, rarely. They are usually well-circumscribed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spindle cell lipoma as their name suggests, contains bland spindle cells, a varying mixture of mature adipocytes, and ropy collagen fibers. Histologically, there are two variants:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
