The photomicrograph shows scattered spindle to oval cells amidst a myxomatous background associated with some histiocytes and lymphocytes. Inset 1a shows palisades of cells at the margin of the pinkish material (H and E, x400). Inset 1b shows the verucay body (H and E, x400)

E). Examination of the cytologic smears revealed tightly cohesive tissue fragments with variable cellularity, exhibiting slender spindle cells showing dark, wavy nuclei [Figure 1]. Some clusters showed palisades of nuclei [Figure 1a] at the margin of the pinkish material simulating verocay bodies [Figure 1b]. Also seen were scattered spindle to oval cells amidst the myxomatous background along with some histiocytes and lymphocytes [Figure 1].
Cut-surface of the mass shows whitish, nodular, round, glistening areas with yellow-brown soft areas in the centre
