• 

  Fig. 1 26×22 mm sized, skin-colored, firm, asymptomatic subcutaneous nodule on the left sole.

  Fig. 2 (A) Skin biopsy showed a relatively well-circumscribed tumor in the dermis (H&E, Scanning view). (B) The tumor consists of spindle cells arranged in interlacing fascicles or whorls (H&E, ×100). (C) These spindle cells had pale pink cytoplasm, elongated nuclei, and inconspicuous nucleoli (H&E, ×400). (D) Immunoreactivity of the spindle cells with smooth muscle actin (Smooth muscle actin, ×200) (E) Many spindle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasmic stain dispersed among the blue collagen bundles (Masson-trichrome, ×400).
