  Fig. 1 (A) A non-compressible, poorly mobile, non-tender, subcutaneous mass 5 cm in diameter located on the inside of his right thigh. The overlying skin appeared normal. (B) An intraoperative finding. A dark bluish fusiform mass was revealed (arrow). (C) Histological findings. A round luminal appearance with a concentric muscular layer with organizing thrombus in the lumen was revealed (H&E stain, ×40). The occluded lumen was shown with a star. (D) Elastic fibers were distributed between the bundles of smooth muscle layers and internal elastic lamina-like elastic fibers in the intima were developed (elastica van Gieson stain, ×40). The occluded lumen was shown with a star.
