On grey-scale sonography performed using a 14 MHz linear transducer (Voluson 730 expert, GE medical systems, OH, USA) multiple anechoic tortuous tubular compressible channels were noted in the region of palpable mass (Figure 1a). Colour and power Doppler showed vascularity within these tubular channels (Figure 1b and Figure 2).
