Abstract

Spindle cell lipoma is a relatively rare adipocytic neoplasm that is easily mistaken for a liposarcoma, and is histologically characterized by a mixture of uniform spindle cells and mature fat cells. It occurs predominantly in male patients aged $45\~65$ years, and in most cases it arises in the subcutaneous tissue of the neck or shoulder. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman with spindle cell lipoma arising from the left pleural cavity.

방추 세포 지방종은 조직학적으로 방추 세포와 지방 세포의 혼합으로 구성된 특이한 종류의 지방종으로 지방육종과 혼동하기 쉽다. 방추 세포 지방종은 보통 목과 어깨 등의 피하조직에서 주로 발생하며 45세에서 65세 남성에 호발한다고 보고되고 있다 45세 여자 환자의 흉막에서 발생한 방추 세포 지방종을 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
