A The mass is composed of neoplastic mesenchymal cells arranged into delicate streams that intersect multilocular, empty cystic spaces. Inset: On higher magnification, neoplastic spindle cells have indistinct cell margins, scant vesicular cytoplasm and oval-shaped nuclei with small, centrally located nuclei. B IHC for CD117. Moderate membranous labelling is detected in the majority neoplastic cells. C IHC for smooth muscle actin. Light cytoplasmic labelling is present in rare neoplastic cells
