Abstrakt: Fine needle aspiration biopsies of tumors can yield a variety of spindle cells derived from several types of neoplasms. Among these is a rare lesion known as a "spindle-cell carcinoma" or "pseudosarcoma," which may represent a transformation of a preexisting squamous-cell carcinoma that has been subjected to radiotherapy or solar damage. The cytologic, histologic and ultrastructural features of a case of metastatic spindle-cell carcinoma of the rib subjected to fine needle aspiration are presented, and other spindle-cell tumors that should be considered in the differential diagnosis are discussed.
