Pleomorphic Hyalinizing Angiectatic Tumor of the Chest Wall: A case report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) is a rare, low grade soft tissue neoplasm of an unknown histogenesis. It is characterized by sheets of mitotically inactive oval and pleomorphic cells, mono- and multi-nucleated giant cells, intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions and prominent clusters of thin-walled ectatic vessels with perivascular hyalinization. We have experienced a 50 years old male patient who had a palpable mass in his right anterior lower chest wall. The mass was excised and it was confirmed as PHAT. He has been well 2 years postoperatively without recurrence.
