F3
There were infiltration by xanthoma cells admixed with inflammatory cells such as lymphocytes, plasma cells and neutrophils (Figures 3-4), accompanied with fibroplasia and vascular proliferation in the stroma. The xanthoma cells present either focally or in sheets, with no giant cells identified.

F5
The stroma was infiltrated by focal or sheets of foam cells admixed with lymphocytes, plasma cells and occasional neutrophils (Figure 5). These foam cells had light staining, comparatively small nuclei surrounded by abundant cytoplasm containing lipid vacuoles.
