Microscopical description: a well-defined, solid tumor (pict. 1 - pict. 2), consisting of cells with large, eosinophilic and finely granular cytoplasm and rather pleomorphic nuclei; sometimes, prominent nucleoli are evident (pict. 3 - pict. 4 - pict. 5 - pict. 6).
The neoplastic cells are strongly positive for Cytokeratin (pict. 7) and negative for S100.
