Arch Clin Cases. 2023 Oct 5;10(3):142-145. doi: 10.22551/2023.40.1003.10261. eCollection 2023.

Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous epithelial tumor (XGET) is an extremely rare and recently described mesenchymal neoplasm characterized by a distinctive histological appearance and clinical presentation.

The clinical, radiological, and pathological findings, as well as the management and follow-up, are discussed.

Keywords: cytokeratin; emerging entities; soft tissue; uncertain biologic potential; xanthogranulomatous inflammation.
