Abstract
Primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy (PMMTI) is a relatively recently described tumor arising in infants and demonstrating a unique histomorphology. We present an unusual case of PMMTI with rosettes, a hitherto undescribed finding in the reported cases. We also present the cytogenetic and ultrastructural findings of this tumor and review the literature. As awareness of PMMTI increases, additional clinical data and histopathologic findings will aid in the morphologic and behavioral characterization of this neoplasm.Entities:
