Pathology of the resected tumor. a Gross image of the intracardiac mass showing a bosselated outer appearing light tan in color (left) and a lobulated cut surface with small cysts (right). Note a completely smooth surface of the tumor. b A representative histological image of a lymphocyte-poor (type A-like) area. Tumor cells with oval, bland nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm proliferate in solid sheets. Small numbers of lymphocytes are seen (hematoxylin–eosin stain, × 200). c Histological image of a lymphocyte-rich (type B-like) area. A small number of epithelioid tumor cells are intermingled along with a starry sky appearance (hematoxylin–eosin stain, × 200)
