case_images: Finally, the whole tumor with surrounding soft tissue was obtained as a surgical specimen (Figure 3).
case_images: Photomicrograph showing stellate and spindle-shaped cells with no atypia in the abundant myxoid extracellular matrix (hematoxylin-eosin stain, x100). T: tumor, C: fibrous capsule, M: muscle of the tongue.

case_images: Stellate and spindle-shaped cells with no atypia were observed within an abundant myxoid extracellular matrix (Figure 4).
case_images: Histopathologic photograph showing the results of immunohistochemical analyses for vimentin, which is positive in the tumor cells (vimentin, x400).
