Fig. 2 A, Operative findings. The tumor encompassed the confluence of the superficial and deep femoral veins. B, Proximal femoral vein was repaired by angioplasty allowing distal vein drainage through saphenous vein. Arrow shows the resected stump.

Fig. 3 A, Histologically, the tumor is located in the vascular lumen. Blood between vascular wall and the tumor was also noted (hematoxylin and eosin, ×40). B, The tumor shows a characteristic bimorphic pattern composed of areas of undifferentiated small cells and cartilaginous island shown by arrows. C, By immunohistochemistry, the undifferentiated small tumor cells are strongly positive for CD99 (CD99, ×200).
