چکیده
Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) also known as sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare and peculiar biphasic malignant neoplasm that occurs mainly in the upper aerodigestive tract in the sixth to seventh decades of life with a male predominance. SpCC is an unusual aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that frequently recurs and metastasizes reinforcing the importance of its precise and early diagnosis. Herein we report a rare case of SpCC in an unusual location of maxillary alveolar ridge region in a 20-year-old female patient.
