Fig. 1 Solitary brownish nodule with localized hypertrichosis on the left leg.
Fig. 2 (A) Multiple variable-sized, encapsulated, and interconnected nodules (H&E, ×40). (B) Nodules composed of spindle cells with focally palisading nuclei (H&E, ×100). (C) Tumor cells in the nodules strongly stained for S-100 protein (S-100 protein staining, ×100). (D) The capsules of the nodules stained for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA, ×200). (E) Neurofilament staining of the cells in the nodules was negative (neurofilament staining, ×100).
