Summary
The histopathological spectrum of a large series of a recently described tumour entity is presented. Seven diagnostic features which may be encountered are described and their frequency discussed. The most striking clinical feature was the marked male preponderance (M∶F=7.6∶1). It is suggested that an appreciation of the full histopathological spectrum is necessary to ensure adequate diagnosis.
