  Fig. 1 (A) Reddish dome-shaped tumor on the left side of the waist. (B) Painful subcutaneous tumor on the left inguinal region. (C, D) Histopathological examination of the waist tumor (H&E; C: ×40, D: ×1,000). (C) Numerous tumor cells throughout the dermis and subcutis without continuity with the epidermis are visible. (D) Markedly atypical large cells with irregular nuclear contours and prominent nucleoli are shown.
