(Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992),NCI: A soft tissue tumor of young adults with melanocytic differentiation, typically involving tendons and aponeuroses. There is a recurrent cytogenetic aberration: t(12;22)(q13;q12).,NCI: A rare malignant neoplasm with melanocytic differentiation characterized by the presence of polygonal or spindle shaped clear cells.
