A, Granulomatous dermatitis extending from the mid dermis to the subcutaneous tissue, with focal involvement. B, Granulomas are relatively pauci-inflammatory, overall small to medium in size, and well formed. Focally intermixed lymphocytes are seen. There is also an admixture of lymphocytes, rare neutrophils, and plasma cells within the interstitium. (A and B, Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnifications: A, ×4; B, ×10.)
