My perception of spindle cell hemangioma is that it is a non circumscribed lesion, but other than this point, I do not think this lesion fits in anything else.

Cellular Angiolipoma.
These are usually well-circumscribed lesions, with high cellularity, variable spindle cell component, and fibrin thrombi, lacking significant proliferative activity or high-grade atypia. Location on trunk is common.

Sangueza and Requena's treatise on vascular tumours says the following:

"Spindle cell hemangiomas are well-circumscribed but not encapsulated nodules … rich in dilated, thin-walled, blood vessels sometimes occupied by organized thrombi and phleboliths … (and) often contain round cells with vacuolated cytoplasm, sometimes so marked as to be misinterpreted as entrapped adipose tissue."

I was thinking intravenous pyogenic granuloma on the H&Es so agree with Mark's diagnosis. Nice SMA.
