Observations by microscopy were as follows: in the subcutaneous tissue, the tumor cells had large nuclei with dark staining; the chromatin was thick, and the nucleoli were obvious; pathological mitosis was shown with less cytoplasm; the tumor cells were arranged in lumps, nests, and glandular tubules in small amounts with necrosis in small amounts (Figure 1).

Invasive growth of the tumor tissue was observed, and its boundary was unclear; the infiltration reached the subcutaneous fibrous connective tissue and the superficial skin (Figure 2), invading the vessels and nerves.

On March 15, 2017, as shown in Figure 10, CT showed postoperative changes on the right lower abdominal wall; the structure of the surgical area was disordered, and the skin was slightly thicker, with a subcutaneous patchy high-density shadow; a few lymph nodes were observed near the bilateral groin and iliac vessels; and some patchy low lesions were uneven in their internal density, including a large lesion ~1.7 x 2.3 cm in size.
