28
Q

histo for JXG?

A

• Path: dense infiltrate of histiocytes in superficial dermis -> subQ, loss of rete ridges, ulceration
o early: histiocytes with eosinophilic cytoplasm
o mature lesions: histiocytes have lipid in their cytoplasm, becoming foamy and “xanthomatous”
 Touton giant cells are characteristics
o positive HAM56, CD68 and factor XIIIa, some S100+
o negative CD1a and Langerin (CD207)
