The first description was given by Virchow in 1851, but it was not until 80 years later, in 1931, that Ceelen published the first clinical report. Clinical, roentgenologic and pathologic correlations were presented in 1944 by Waldenström1 and in 1948 Wyllie et al.2 published a review of the subject.
