| Abstract: | Since 1980 when Sibley and coworkers first described a nodal neoplasm of unknown histogenesis with striking surface microvilli for which they introduced the term "anemone cell," a series of reports have appeared in the literature illustrating tumors with similar ultrastructural features. While most reported cases showed differentiation along a particular line, rare cases remained histogenetically unclear. In this report a case is described of epithelioid gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor metastatic to the liver, showing conspicuous long microvillus-type cell processes partially or circumferentially coating the cell surfaces, thus qualifying as yet another tumor type with anemone cell features. |
