Since its initial description by Hermann in 1880 (2), 5-year survival rates have been estimated around 5 %-40 % (3-5), and one reason for this poor prognosis is delayed diagnosis due to overlapping with benign conditions. [scielo.isciii.es]

Due to the rarity of this pathology and the different referral patterns among institutions, the etiology ranges widely between published reports. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
