case_images: (a) Surface epithelium with underlying connective tissue showing variably sized vessels in eosinophilic spindle cell stromal population (H&E stain, x40). (b) Large thick-walled vessels associated with intersecting fascicles of spindle shaped smooth muscle cells (H&E stain, x100). (c) Thick vessel wall composed of smooth muscle cells mingling with intervascular stroma (H&E stain, x100). (d) Spindle smooth muscle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and cigar-shaped bluntended nuclei with perinuclear vacuole (H&E stain, x400)
