Fig. 1
(A) Fine needle aspiration shows several cohesive sheets with a papillary configuration and fibrin materials in a hemorrhagic background. (B) The sheets are composed of pleomorphic polygonal cells with abundant cytoplasm and cytoplasmic vacuole (A, B, Papanicolaou stain).

(A) The excised mass shows a hematoma and anastomosing papillary vascular structures covered by a thick capsule. (B) High magnification of the papillary structures reveals proliferation of endothelial cells with fibrin-like material.
