Spindle Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue : A Rare Tumor in an Unusual Location

Abstract EN

Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare biphasic tumor consisting of epithelial and mesenchymal components.

Presence of this tumor type in the tongue has rarely been reported.

Herein, a case of 55-year-old woman who presented with a polypoid lesion at her tongue has been reported.

Surgery was performed and pathologic examination revealed a spindle cell carcinoma.

We present this rare tumor with an unusual location to contribute in part to the better understanding and awareness of this rare malignancy.
