*Inflammatory cells (lymophocytic perivascular cuffs).
*Mitotic activity is low (except in anaplastic PXA, more than 5/10 HPF).
 
*Usually no necrosis (except in anaplastic PXA).
 
==Grading==
* Grade II: Mitotic activity is low, no necrosis.
* Grade III anaplastic PXA: more than 5/10 HPF, may have necrosis.


Notes:
Notes:
*No mitoses.
Anaplastic PXA was introduced in the WHO2016 revision as a distinct entity.  
*No [[necrosis]].
In the past, the tumor was called ''PXA with anaplastic features''.
