Fig 4 Hematoxylin-eosin staining of aortic wall with invasive intimal angiosarcoma (*; original magnification ×10) showed the neoplastic cells varied from round to ovoid in shape. The tumor cells contained small amounts of amphophilic cytoplasm and round-to-oval vesiculate nuclei with one to two magenta nucleoli. Mitoses were reasonably frequent.
