    Spindle cell sarcoma is a type of connective tissue cancer. The tumors generally begin in layers of connective tissue, as found under the skin, between muscles, and surrounding organs, and will generally start as a small, inflamed lump, which grows in size. At first, the lump is, small in size, as the tumor exists in stage 1, and will not ...

    Furthermore, multinucleated large cells with radically positioned nuclei in a "floret-like" pattern are strewn among the spindle cells. The histological spectrum is rather diverse, ranging from a tumor that primarily consists of spindle cells with only a few fat cells to a tumor that resembles an average lipoma with few spindle cells ...
