Upon histological examination (A and B), the neoplastic cells displayed a linear distribution and consisted of polygonal, round, or fusiform nuclei with eosinophilic, granular cytoplasm. Additionally, a dense network of blood capillaries was observed within the tumor’s mesenchyme. A specialized Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) staining (C and D) revealed potential positive renin granule accumulation in the cytoplasm of tumor cells. Additional positive immunohistochemical expressions of vimentin, actin, and CD34 further confirmed the diagnosis of JGCT based on histological findings
