This article is about a case report of a patient diagnosed with spindle cell neoplasia. Multiple data sources were used. The conclusion is that the patient’s clinical data, in addition to immunohistochemistry are of great importance, as well as the contact between pathologist and mastologist for further clarification of possible doubts.
