Pathology: elastofibroma
Elastofibroma
Hypocellular; ill-defined margins
Spindle-stellate cells with a patternless arrangement
Scant eosinophilic cytoplasm
Monomorphic small ovoid nuclei; inconspicuous mitotic activity
Fibrocollagenous background admixed with lobules of mature fat
Irregular bundles of eosinophilic elastic fibres resembling "beads on a string"
Special stain: elastic trichrome
