Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma
Diagnosis in short

IPM. H&E stain.

LM spindle cells with nuclear palisading, RBC extravasation
LM DDx schwannoma, leiomyoma
IHC SMA +ve, S-100 -ve.
Site lymph node.

Signs mass lesion
Prevalence very rare.
Clin. DDx lymphoma, metastatic carcinoma.

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma, abbreviated IPM, is a rare tumour that classically presents as an inguinal mass.[1]

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:

  1. Rim of peripheral lymphoid tissue.
  2. Spindle cells with nuclear palisading - key feature.
  3. RBC extravasation/hemorrhage.
  4. Amianthoid fibers - blood vessel surrounded by collagen with (fine) peripheral spokes.[4]
    • Paucicellular regions.[5]
  5. Intracellular and extracellular fuchsinophilic bodies.
    • Smooth muscle actin +ve.
