A, Biopsy specimen of skin nodule showed aggregates of hematopoietic cells within extramedullary hematopoiesis mass in dermis and around blood vessels and appendageal area. All 3 marrow elements (myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocytic series) were present in skin lesions. (A, Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification: ×40; inset, ×200.) B, Immunohistochemistry for CD31 revealed megakaryocytes showing atypical features. C, Immunohistochemistry for myeloperoxidase revealed numerous myeloid progenitors, granulopoietic cells. (B and C, Original magnifications: ×400.)

A, Immunohistochemical staining for transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH). Overexpression of immunoreactive TGF-β1 was present in immature hematopoietic cells and dermal fibroblasts within cutaneous EMH mass. B, Negative control. (Original magnification: ×400.)
