General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
Reflected light microscopy: Aneurysmatically dilated capillaries with pronounced caliber fluctuations and isolated microscopic bleeding runs through the entire lesion. As an indication of the presence of a pigment cell tumor, often only discrete brownish-cloudy areas or a light brown background pigmentation are found. Discrete slate-grey pigment cell agglomerates are rare. Polymorphic vessel figures remind in their shape of Greek lower case letters (minuscule).
