Fig 1 Histologic sections from a 4-mm punch biopsy of the forehead showed mixed interstitial inflammatory infiltrate that affected entire dermis and extended into fat and subjacent skeletal muscle (A). Histiocytes aggregated into noncaseating granulomata (B). Histiocytes and lymphocytes admixed with scattered neutrophils infiltrated between collagen bundles (C). No well-developed foci of degenerated collagen were present. (A to C, Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnifications: A, ×40; B, ×100; C, ×400.)
