A rare case of plexiform fibromyxoma in stomach: FNA diagnosis with histological correlation and differential diagnoses.

Plexiform angiomyxoma (PF) is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm that arises in the antrum and pyloric region of the stomach. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two prior endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology examples have been reported. We report a case of PF which was diagnosed via EUS FNA and later confirmed on resection specimen. Differential diagnoses of this tumor are discussed. Although diagnosis of plexiform fibromyxoma on FNA specimen is difficult, a good FNA specimen with subsequent careful morphological evaluation and immunohistochemical staining work-up makes this task possible.
