CD, cluster of differentiation; CK, cytokeratin; CTx, chemotherapy; GFAP, glial fibrillary acidic protein; HHF-35, muscle actin antibody; HMB-45, Human Melanoma Black-45; MITF, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor; NR, no recurrence; NSE, neuron-specific enolase; SMA, smooth muscle actin; TFE3, transcription factor E3. 1 Recurrence was seen after 5 cycles of CTx following which re-excision was done. At last follow-up, the authors reported no recurrence.
