Macrophagic myofasciitis: characterization and pathophysiology.
(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).
