Figures

Fig. 1
Fig. 1
A more homogenous subepithelial zone appears morphologically distinct from the collagenous tissue of the deeper connective tissue. In many areas, the homogenous material abuts directly on the overlying epithelium. (H&E, objective lens ×5). Inset: the finely fibrillar and granular material can be seen in a perivascular distribution even in the deeper collagenous connective tissue. (H&E, objective lens ×40)

Fig. 2
Masson’s elastic trichrome (MET) stain shows the lesional tissue to be elastic fibers. (MET, objective lens ×10). Inset: MET stain clearly shows the perivascular distribution of the elastic fibers in the deeper connective tissue, suggesting a microangiopathy as a possible pathogenesis of the lesion. (MET, objective lens ×20)
