Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma, abbreviated IPM, is a rare tumour that classically presents as an inguinal mass.[1]
General
- Rare.
- Male:female = 2:1.
- Adults - middle age.
Microscopic
Features:
- Rim of peripheral lymphoid tissue.
- Spindle cells with nuclear palisading - key feature.
- RBC extravasation/hemorrhage.
- Amianthoid fibers - blood vessel surrounded by collagen with (fine) peripheral spokes.[2]
- Intracellular and extracellular fuchsinophilic bodies.
- Smooth muscle actin.
