Why is it important?
Diagnosis is based on histopathological analysis, possibly supplemented by immunohistochemistry. Treatment is essentially surgical, while the role of chemotherapy remains controversial in the absence of consensus. Prognosis depends on histological aggressiveness and stage at diagnosis. This paper summarizes current knowledge of this rare entity and highlights the need for better data collection through multicenter studies.
