Abstract
This tumor is extremely rare in the bone. Only a few cases have been described up to now in the literature. It seems to particularly occur in the long bones. It causes osteolysis with faded boundaries, with possible erosion of the cortex (Fig. 510). Histologically, it is constituted by a thick proliferation of cells, with round-oval nuclei, arranged around numerous small vessels. In order to obtain a diagnosis staining for the reticular and collagen fibers is required (trichromic, P.A.S., argentic impregnation, Fig. 511).
