It was first described by Kepes in 19799,10) and in Korea by Park et al in 1982.23) The tumor has aggressive histological features, but relatively favorable prognosis. The published cases of these PXAs in Korea were reviewed including the author’s own two cases, which were treated by gross total resection.
