The sections | The sections show an atypical spindle cell lesion in the deep dermis, with a storiform and fascicular pattern, marked nuclear pleomorphism and very high mitotic activity (129 mitoses / 10 HPF, field diameter 0.55 mm). The spindle cells have moderate-to-abundant partially vacuolated eosinophilic-to-amphophilic cytoplasm, ellipsoid-to-ovoid nuclei with coarse, irregular chromatin and, focally, nucleoli visible with the 10x objective. Atypical (malignant) multinucleated-cells are identified focally with abundant pale gray cytoplasm. | ||
Benign dense thick collagen bundles are seen in the superficial dermis with associated loss of the rete ridges (dermal scar). Suture material and (reactive) foreign body-type giant cells are also seen. | |||
Immunohistochemical staining show: | |||
-Positive staining of the tumour with: factor XIIIa (cytoplasmic), SMA (cytoplasmic - focal), WT1 (granular cytoplasmic - focal), CD10 (membranous/cytoplasmic), CD68 (cytoplasmic). | |||
-Negative staining of the tumour with: S100, p63, CD34, LMWK, CK5/6. | |||
