Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare highly malignant squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we describe a case of a 74-year-old Chinese female who presented with a 2-week history of pain and swelling in the left retromolar region. Surgical resection and titanium plate prosthesis were performed and histological analysis revealed spindle squamous cell carcinoma.
