Nevertheless, due to its rarity, its diagnosis poses a challenge, requiring close correlation between clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical data. This review summarizes current knowledge on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, morphological features, differential diagnosis and therapeutic options of this unusual tumor.
