   Figure 1. Pseudocystic cavity, located in the hypodermis, delimited by a festooned pseudomembrane; the pseudomembrane is formed by an eosinophilic and anuclear material that emits small pseudopapillary projections towards the interior of the cavity. On one of the lateral edges of this cavity fat macro- and microcysts are present (HE x 25).



   
   Figure 2. The material forming the festooned membrane of the cavity is a PAS positive and diastase resistant material (PAS-diastase x 250).



   
   Figure 3. Granulomatous panniculitis with fat necrosis and the presence of numerous micro- and macrocysts with haemorrhagic and lipophagic phenomena (HE x 100).
