Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma is a rare lymph node benign tumor, of unknown pathogenesis. Although benign, this lesion is frequently confused with metastatic lesions, especially in atypical sites. We report a 39-year-old man with a history of testicular malignant mixed germ cell tumor, presented with abdominal painless mass. The computed tomography of the abdomen confirmed the presence of 180 × 140 mm2 mass in the retroperitoneum with lympadenopathy on the right measuring 20 x 15 mm. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, and a surgical exerese of the retroperitoneeum lymph node was made. Histological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of intranodal palissaded myofibroblastoma. This entity has been previously described, only once, in retroperitoneal region. Despite to the rarity of this neoplasm, we discuss clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis.

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM) is a rare benign tumor of the lymph nodes, particularly in inguinal lymph nodes. IPM originating from the submandibular gland lymph nodes is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Herein, we report the case of a 31-year-old male patient with IPM of the submandibular gland region and describe in detail magnetic resonance imaging findings and pathology.

Introduction: Lymphadenopathies are a major cause of consultation in internal medicine, with various causes of diagnosis. Unexplained persistent lymphadenopathy must be biopsied to rule out malignant tumor.
Case Report: We report the case of a 53-year-old man, with inguinal lymphadenopathy evolving for more than one year.

CTNNB1 mutations play important roles in the development of soft tissue tumors, such as desmoid fibromatosis (DF), sinonasal tract angiofibroma, sinonasal glomangiopericytoma, intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma, neuromuscular choristoma (NMC), and the recently reported pseudoendocrine sarcoma. Here, we report a unique hybrid soft tissue tumor with classic DF, unusual epithelioid component, and NMC in a 23-year-old female. The classic DF and NMC and the unusual epithelioid component and NMC were locally intermixed and closely related to each other.

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM) is a rare stroma-derived spindle-cell neoplasm of the lymph node with myofibroblastic differentiation and CTNNB1 (β-catenin gene) somatic mutations. We present a case of IPM found incidentally in the staging of lung adenocarcinoma. We describe the major histopathological and phenotypic features, including a palisaded bland spindle cell proliferation with myofibroblastic differentiation and Wnt pathway activation by immunohistochemistry, including β-catenin expression.

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma is a rare benign tumor of the lymph nodes, that arises from smooth muscle cells or myofibroblast, chiefly in the inguinal lymph nodes. Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma of the parotid gland is exceedingly scarce, even more, its recurrent characteristic; which underlines the grave importance of a long, strict monitoring and surveillance plan. Alongside these salient points in this unusual case, we also aim to highlight the peculiar difficulties inevitably faced, given the unfortunate lack of typical pathognomonic clinical and radiological features.
