Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal tumors originating
from perivascular epithelioid cells. In gynecological system, the uterus is one of the most …

Components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) are known to play an essential role
during malignant progression, but often in a context-dependent manner. In bone and soft …

Tumors of mesenchymal origin are a diverse group, with> 130 distinct entities currently

Pericytes are modified smooth muscle cells that closely enwrap small blood vessels,
regulating and supporting the microvasculature through direct endothelial contact. Pericytes …

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare vascular tumor, which is thought to originate from
pericytes. However, no direct evidence for the cell of origin has been found, and the …

Perivascular soft tissue tumors are relatively uncommon neoplasms of unclear line of
differentiation, although most are presumed to originate from pericytes. Previously, we …

Objective Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComa) are an uncommon family of soft
