Pathology: calcifying fibrous tumour

Calcifying fibrous tumour

  • Circumscribed; hypocellular; spindle cells with vague fascicular pattern

  • Eosinophilic cytoplasm with elongated processes

  • Monomorphic ovoid nuclei with small nucleoli; inconspicuous mitotic activity

  • Abundant hyalinized collagenous stroma; abundant psammomatous calcification
