After an initial acute inflammatory step, suture threads were progressively outlined by connective tissue and colonized by
macrophagic cells.
(A) Scanning magnification showing necrosis of the epidermis, occluded vessels in the superficial and mid dermis, a mainly perineural and periadnexal
macrophagic infiltrate and a large infiltrated vessel in the subcutaneous fat (hematoxylin and eosin, 20X); (B) Necrosis of the epidermis, haemorrhages and occluded vessels in the superficial and mid dermis, without vasculitis (hematoxylin and eosin, 100X); (C) Small vessel of the superficial dermis occluded by a thrombus and without vasculitic changes (hematoxylin and eosin, 200X); (D) A large subcutaneous vein shows a
macrophagic infiltrate in the wall (hematoxylin and eosin, 100X).

Macrophagic myofasciitis was first reported by Gherardi et al in 1998.
Histopathologic examination of tissue sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (3) showed a severe, diffuse,
macrophagic bacterial peritonitis.
Four true isoenzymes of ACP, namely, lysosomal, prostatic,
macrophagic, and erythrocytic, have been identified on the basis of their origin and genetic encoding.
TGFbeta3 (with probable antifibrotic effects) was positive in all oral specimens in macrophages either intense or mild positivity, while less than half of the cutaneous fragments showed
macrophagic positivity.
Cytologic examination of the aspirates from the mass showed
macrophagic inflammation with abundant beaded rod-shaped bacteria, and degenerating epithelial cells.
