In addition, three patients had hyaline collagen degeneration, four myxoid degeneration, three fibrinoid degeneration, and six had mixed lesions. |
Cytologic features and immunocytochemistry are helpful in distinguishing this tumor from others that share similar myxoid background. |
Chordoma also presents with intensely metachromatic myxoid stroma, and the tumor cells may be single or arranged in cords. |
Spindle cell lipomas show well-differentiated adipocytes, as in a typical lipoma, but in addition have foci of myxoid tissue with spindled cells. |
The BO was manifested as branching tongues of myxoid fibrous tissue in respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts. |
The tumor cells were arranged in nests, with adjacent acellular myxoid areas. |
