Figure 5. Photomicrographs of the immunohistochemistry for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S-100 of the ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of a benign nerve sheath myxoma. (A) Immunostaining for GFAP (brown) is localized to the cytoplasm of the spindle cells. Magnification ×10. (B) Immunostaining for S-100 (red) is localized to the cytoplasm of the spindle cells. Magnification ×10. The immunostaining is consistent with a diagnosis of nerve sheath myxoma.
