(a–c) Histopathological examination of the tissue showed a mucosal excision. In the submucosal stroma, there was a multinodular tumor consisting of 2 components. One component showed solid fields of cells with round to oval nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm. There was also a component of spindled cells within a myxoid matrix, with perivascular condensation of the cells. The tumor was clearly demarked from the surrounding stroma.
