Fig. 7. Fasciitis. A. “Pseudosarcomatous” reactive inflammatory condition is composed predominantly of a loose arrangement of fibroblasts with scattered chronic inflammatory cells (H&E, ×240). B. Conspicuous hemosiderin-laden macrophages are seen in center of photomicrograph. The presence of abundant numbers of capillaries in the inflammatory tissue results in hemorrhage and the presence of blood breakdown products (H&E, ×240). |
