Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) or sarcomatoid carcinoma is a highly malignant variant of squamous cell carcinoma which comprises 2% to 3% of all laryngeal cancers. It is considered to be a biphasic tumor that is composed of a squamous cell carcinoma (in situ or invasive) and spindle cell carcinoma with sarcomatous appearance. Most spindle cell tumors are polypoid and pedunculated; they are often detected at an early stage, removed by polypectomy during diagnosis, and tend to have a very good prognosis. We present a case of spindle cell carcinoma in a 67-year-old Caucasian male who presented with progressive hoarseness of his voice, dysphagia, odynophagia and a 20-pound weight loss. The patient underwent direct laryngoscopy with excision of the malignant mass and received radiation therapy. His symptoms gradually improved, and he regained good control of his voice.

Sarcomatoid Carcinoma (SC) is an unusual and aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma, which frequently recurs and metastasizes; for this reason, the right diagnosis is very important. It is considered to be a biphasic tumor made up of cells from squamous and spindle cells carcinoma with a sarcomatous aspect, but of epithelial origin. The diagnosis often represents a clinical-pathological challenge where the study with immunohistochemical technique (IHC) is key to the histopathological diagnosis. The reported cases related to oral mucosa are limited. In this work we present two SC cases where the use of IHC allowed us to achieve a conclusive diagnosis.

<p>Sarcomatoid (spindle cell) carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It compromises of 2–3% of laryngeal cancers. Tumor arises from the oral cavity, tonsil, larynx and pharynx. Majority of these tumors are polypoid or pedunculated and tend to cause obstructive symptoms. These tumors are often detected at an early stage, removed by polypectomy during diagnosis and tend to have a very good prognosis. In this case report, 76 years male who presented with progressive hoarseness of his voice and pain in throat. The patient underwent direct laryngoscopy with excision of the malignant mass and received radiotherapy. </p>
