Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 A) Multiple grouped skin-colored to erythematous papules near the left areola in a 30-year-old man. (B) Skin biopsy was performed on one of the papules (black arrow).

• 

  Fig. 2 (A, B) Hematoxylin-eosin staining revealing basaloid cells forming cords and strands confined to the superficial dermis, with myxoid stroma. Neither nuclear pleomorphism nor cleft formation between the tumor and the stroma was seen. (C) Staining for Alcian blue is strongly positive in the stroma. (D) Staining for Ki-67 is weakly positive. (E) Staining for Bcl-2 is positive only in the outermost tumor cells. (F) Staining for CD34 is positive in the stromal cells adjacent to the basaloid cells (all virtual slides).
