Lane’s Tumor also known as Sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) or spindle cell carcinoma is a rare and peculiar biphasic malignant neoplasm that occurs mainly in the upper aerodigestive tract. It is a variant of squamous cell carcinoma which has spindled or pleomorphic tumor cells which simulate a true sarcoma, but are epithelial in origin. Spindle cell neoplasms are very uncommon in the oral cavity, accounting for <1% of all tumors of oral region. It is an unusual aggressive variant that frequently recurs and metastasizes, reinforcing the importance of its correct diagnosis. We report a immunohistochemicaly proven case of Lane’s tumor in 43yrs old male.
