Figure 4. Photomicrographs of the histology of the ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of a nerve sheath myxoma. (A) The histology shows blue myxoid lobules surrounded by fibrous septa (arrowheads). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Magnification ×2. (B) Higher-power light microscopy shows bland spindle cells without mitoses in a myxoid stroma (arrowhead). H&E. Magnification ×20. The histology is consistent with a diagnosis of nerve sheath myxoma.
