Fig 3 (A) Low-power view of mass showing collagenous fibrosis with admixed inflammatory cells. (Hematoxlyin and eosin [H&E], ×40.) (B) Areas of fibrosis consisting of dense collagen. (H&E, ×200.) (C) Areas of fibrosis with higher cellularity consisting of inflammatory cells and spindle cells with a vague storiform growth pattern. (H&E, ×200.) (D) Blood vessels showing partial obliteration by the fibroinflammatory process. (H&E, ×200.) (E) Inflammatory cell infiltrate containing numerous plasma cells. (H&E, ×400.)
