The mass was aspirated using a 22 gauge needle and the smears made were cellular and showed sheets and clusters of cells surrounded by a striking and prominent myxoid stroma [Figure 1]. At places, the cells formed small anastamosing cords and single-file arrangement pattern [Figure 1].
FNAC smears showed cells with vesicular nuclei, some exhibiting grooves (H and E, x400)

Some of the cells also had nuclear grooves [Figure 2].

Alcian blue at a pH of 2.5. At places, the histopathological features were reminiscent of the cytomorphological features with anastamosing cords of cells in a myxoid matrix [Figure 3].
