Abstract

CONTEXT: - Cutaneous and superficial soft tissue spindle cell proliferations with CD34 expression represent a unique heterogeneous group of lesions. They can pose diagnostic challenges for unaware pathologists in their daily practice.

OBJECTIVE: - To review selected entities of CD34

DATA SOURCES: - All information used in the article is obtained from published literature by PubMed search and Internet-based search engines. The authors' collective experience and real-life examples are also used.

CONCLUSIONS: - Spindle cell proliferations with CD34 positivity can be worked up to a definitive diagnosis by using clinical, histopathologic, and immunophenotypical findings. Familiarity with these entities helps pathologists make the accurate diagnosis.
