Foreign body-type multinucleated giant cells (black arrows), mastocytes and eosinophils (blue arrows) are seen together with lymphocytes and plasmocytes (A and B, hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification x4 and x10). The round, oval, spindle-shaped tumor cells display a granular cytoplasm (C, hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification x4), strongly immunoreactive for S-100 protein (D, original magnification x4).Back to article page
