Macroscopic and microscopic findings of the lesion. A: Endonasal view of the nasopharynx, with multiple melanotic lesions around the
Eustachian tuber (left side). B: Microscopic findings of the lesion (hematoxylin and
eosin stain, low magnification). C: Microscopic findings of the lesion (hematoxylin
and eosin stain, high magnification). Plump epithelial cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm
and many brown pigmented granules are arranged in a tubular pattern. D: Immunohistochemical
findings of the lesion (S-100). S100-positive HMB45-negative dendritic cells were
scattered in the lesion (arrows). By counterstaining with Giemsa stain, melanin pigment
showed heterochromasia (green).
