Microscopic observations

Pathologic Findings This is a relatively circumscribed intramuscular neoplasm composed mainly of rounded or ovoid cells with variable amounts of palely eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm. These cells are arranged in nests and trabeculae, focally being associated with a prominent myxoid matrix. The lesional cells have vesicular nuclei with small nucleoli and there is mild but undoubted nuclear atypia. Mitoses are infrequent. The tumour is growing in a multinodular fashion within a fibrous stroma and shows focally notably microcystic change as well as prominent stromal haemorrhage. Immunohistochemical stains show multifocal positivity for EMA and S-100 protein, while pan-keratin, CAM 5.2, GFAP, p63 and SOX10 are negative. Staining for INI-1 is negative - i.e. lost/deleted.
