Pathology: plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumour
Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumour
Multinodular
Clusters of histiocytes with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm; monomorphic round-ovoid nuclei with prominent nucleoli and inconspicuous mitotic activity
Rare interspersed osteoclast-type giant cells frequently surrounded by small pools of erythrocytes
Siderophages and haemosiderin deposition
Desmoplastic background
Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumour, histiocytoid-type
