H&E staining of FGC (400× magnification). Very thin new collagen fibers (Cf) were observed in the dermis between two FGCs and these finding showed collagen fibers were continually created as inflammation processes, if foreign body materials (CaHA particles) existed. Foamy (from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock) FGCs ingested CaHA particles (white arrows). FGC nuclei were peripherally placed and were overlapping each other. Numerous fibroblasts (*), macrophages (Mp), and lymphocytes (L) were found around FGCs.
