Figure 2. Abundant elastic fibers (indicated by blue arrows) are typically thick, coarse, and irregular, giving a “rope-like” appearance in hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain. The collagen fibers are indicated with the orange arrows. The fibroblasts dispersed within the neoplasm do not exhibit significant atypia or pleomorphism and are arranged in short fascicles or a haphazard pattern. Mitotic figures are rare.
