(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.)
