Monoclonal dedifferentiated form of conventional squamous cell carcinoma is recently recognized as spindle cell carcinoma. The biphasic microscopic appearance of this neoplasm simulates many pathological entities. Here we are reporting a case of spindle cell carcinoma in the gingivobuccal sulcus of an adult male with special emphasis on immunohistochemical markers in an effort to differentially exclude similar looking lesions. This report may help the pathologist to diagnose biphasic spindle cell neoplasms with judicial use of immunohistochemistry.
