Abstract:Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare form of lipoma, typically occurring as a mass in the back, shoulder or posterior neck of adult males. Most cases present little diagnostic difficulty on fine needle aspiration (FNA), but can be problematic when the SCL is in an unusual location. The authors report a case in the parotid gland in a 75‐year‐old man. FNA was paucicellular and showed loose collections of spindle cells with mild to moderate atypia, admixed with ropy collagen fibers on a myxoid background. The nucl… Show more
