Spindle cell careinoma in a rat: histopathologic and immunohistoehemieal ttudy

Abstract

Several spindle-shaped cell tumors were located in cutaneous and subcutaneous areas e.g. peripheral nerve sheath tumor/ PNST (Kim et al. 2003; Sturgeon et al. 2008) or Schwannoma (Ottinger et al. 2009), fibrosarcoma (Liu et al. 2004), leiomyosarcoma (Bailey et al. 2003), hemangiopericytoma (Handharyani et al. 1999), and spindle cell tumor (Ramos-Vara, 2001). This study was performed to examine the morphology of the mass using routine staining and immunohistochemistry.
