(A) Hematoxylin and eosin stain of the mass shows deposition of an amorphous eosinophilic material (arrow) in the interstitium of the vaginal tissue. (B) The material is positive for Congo red stain (arrow). (C) By immunohistochemical staining, the amyloid material is positive for β2MG (arrow). (Original magnification: [A, B] ×4; [C] ×20.)
