Most Common Symptoms Of Spindle Cell Sarcoma

Lump Or Mass

Any soft tissue or bone in the body can develop spindle cell sarcoma. Because a spindle cell sarcoma is a form of cancer, it will continue to grow larger in the body when it is left untreated. Spindle cell sarcoma can grow large enough to where it can be felt from over the individual's skin. This symptom typically occurs with spindle cell sarcomas that develop in parts of the body or on the bones that do not have much adipose tissue around them. There are no specific characteristics common with spindle cell sarcoma, so they can feel hard or soft and be big or small. The lump or mass an individual feels that has formed as spindle cell sarcoma does not typically cause much pain until it becomes large enough to impair the function of the structures and tissues around it. A lump or mass formed by spindle cell sarcoma also has no characteristic rate of growth, meaning it can be fast-growing or slow-growing. A biopsy of a lump or mass can determine if it is spindle cell sarcoma.
