  • Title: Clear cell myomelanocytic tumor of the thigh: report of a unique case.
    Author: Folpe AL, McKenney JK, Li Z, Smith SJ, Weiss SW.
    Journal: Am J Surg Pathol; 2002 Jun; 26(6):809-12. PubMed ID: 12023589.
    Abstract:
    The clear cell myomelanocytic tumor (CCMMT) is a recently reported and very rare member of the perivascular epithelioid cell family of tumors (PEComa). All CCMMTs reported to date have occurred in or immediately adjacent to the falciform ligament/ligamentum teres. We report a case of CCMMT that occurred in the right thigh of a 43-year-old woman. Histologic examination showed the classic features of CCMMT, and immunohistochemical studies confirmed co-expression of smooth muscle actin, HMB-45, and microphthalmia transcription factor.
