SP is a diagnostic pitfall with 50% initially misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma. Integrating the clinical/radiologic findings, cytologic features, and performance of immunohistochemistry on cell block are helpful in avoiding misdiagnosis. Molecular testing for recurrent mutations, if present, could be helpful for diagnosis and possible therapy options. However, routinely used molecular testing may not always capture relevant molecular markers for SP.
