^aSurrounding mesenchymal cells were positive for CD34;

^bNone means the tissue was too small, and immunohistochemical staining was not possible. CK: Cytokeratin; Des: Desmin; EMA: Epithelial membrane antigen; Vim: Vimentin; NSE: Neuron speoific enolase; SMA: Smooth muscle actin; PAS: Periodic acid-Schiff.
