*Large epithelioid perivascular cells with: | |||
**Abundant pale eosinophilic cytoplasm. | |||
**Cytoplasmic vacuolation (some cells) - [[AKA]] "blister cells" - '''key feature'''. | |||
***May form lumen and have RBC within. | |||
**Vesicular nucleus with prominent nucleolus in some cells. | |||
*Tuft-like projections into capillaries. | |||
