Radiological Manifestations of Pulmonary Spindle Cell Lymphoma

Dr. Shweta Narwade, Dr. Dev Shetty, Dr. Ravi Verma

Abstract: Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare and malignant variety of squamous cell carcinoma. It is a tumour that is constituted by a double cell proliferation: a carcinomatous sarcomatous epithelial cell of spindle cells and another sarcomatous spindle cell. It can affect any part of the body; however, it is more commonly found in the upper airway and digestive tract. It affects men more frequently between the sixth and seventh decade of life. It has aggressive behaviour with a tendency for recurrence. Alcohol and tobacco have been identified as the most important risk factors.

Keywords: Radiologically, spindle cell lymphoma of the lung appears as a single large lesion, measuring 2 cm to 18 cm, middle lobe. Vascular invasion, spindle cell carcinoma
