Non-sarcomatous spindle cell morphology in conventional lung adenocarcinoma: a clinicopathological study.

Non-sarcomatous spindle cell foci (N-SSCF) without aggressive invasiveness, also called morule-like lesions, occur occasionally in conventional lung adenocarcinoma, but their characteristics remain poorly understood. We identified N-SSCF in 7 (4.0 %) of 173 lung adenocarcinomas and examined their clinicopathological features.
