General
- Rare ~ 55 cases in the world literature.[2]
Demographics:
- Male:female = 2:1.
- Adults - middle age.
Location:
- Usually inguinal lymph node.
- Reported in retroperitoneum.[2]
Treatment:
- Simple excision; rare recurrences have been reported.[3]
Microscopic
Features:
- Rim of peripheral lymphoid tissue.
- Remnant of lymph node.
- Spindle cells with nuclear palisading - key feature.
- RBC extravasation/hemorrhage.
- Amianthoid fibers - blood vessel surrounded by collagen with (fine) peripheral spokes.[4]
- Paucicellular regions.[5]
- Intracellular and extracellular fuchsinophilic bodies.
- Smooth muscle actin +ve.

Notes:
- Fuchsinophilic = affinity for the acid dye fuchsin.[6]
