Abstract

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM) also called as intranodal hemorrhagic spindle cell tumor with amianthoid fibers is a distinctive and rare mesenchymal neoplasm of lymph nodes. This entity generally misdiagnosed as intranodal Kaposi’s sarcoma or schwannoma in past. In contrast to Kaposi’s sarcoma, it behaves in a benign fashion and does not need any further therapy except total surgical resection of the mass. This neoplasm has a great predilection for the inguinal region. The lesion presents typically as a unilateral, painless, solitary mass. To our knowledge, approximately 53 cases of IPM have been reported in the English-language literature. We present a 43-year-old-male patient with IPM and discuss histological, immunohistochemical features and pathogenesis of this rare benign neoplasm.
