It’s gastric and spindled, but it’s not a GIST… Plexiform fibromyxoma is a benign tumor that presents as a multinodular intramural mass in the stomach. The nodules can be fibrous or myxoid and have a delicate capillary pattern. #BSTPath, #UmichPath, #BSTpathGoBlue
The spindled morphology and plexiform architecture can sometimes cause these tumors to be mistaken for (SDH-deficient) GIST. Unlike GIST, these tumors are negative for CD117 and DOG1.
Over the past several years, we have seen several examples and now you can read about our experiences with these patients and the pathology of these unusual tophi.

Some nice papers (Fritchie and colleagues/ Chung and colleagues) further elaborating on this entity(ies)….

I would highly recommend this course for anyone (regardless of level of expertise) looking for a comprehensive/case-based experience with bone and soft tissue. Dr. Fritchie and colleagues at Cleveland Clinic are excellent teachers. https://t.co/NnLlb2aOfz
ALK-positive histiocytosis of the breast is a rare tumor that can mimic other inflammatory neoplasms or processes, such as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, cellular spindled histiocytic pseudotumor (among others). #BSTPath, #UmichPath, #BSTpathGoBlue
Interestingly, the cells in this case also showed staining for OCT2, which has historically been associated with other histiocytic-type proliferations, such as Rosai-Dorfman disease, some Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and juvenile xanthogranulomas.
