| description | Spindle cell lipomas are rare slow-growing benign tumours that usually arise within the subcutaneous tissue of the back, neck and shoulders of males over 40 years of age. Excision is usually curative. Histopathalogic differentiation from liposarcoma, other neoplasms and myxoid lesions is recommended in order to ensure appropriate treatment. In this case, a 57-year-old woman was referred with a painful mass overlying the dorsum of her left foot. This appears to be the first documented occurrence of a spindle cell lipoma in the foot. The lesion was excised and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of spindle cell lipoma. No recurrence of the lesion was exhibited at 12 months postoperatively . |
