In sporotrichosis, sections show epidermal hyperplasia overlying a marked acute and chronic inflammatory response (figure 1). Higher power shows the inflammation infiltrates the overlying epidermis (figure 2). The infiltrate is polymorphous with giant cells, histiocytes, and focal neutrophilic microabscess formation (figure 3). Careful examination of multiple sections is required to identify the causative organisms (figure 4, arrows).
