Histology

Polyps covered by the epidermis, often with mild hyperkeratosis; usually no parakeratosis; stroma is formed by connective tissue, often with fat tissue and dilated blood vessels; sometimes groups of melanocytes.

Hemorrhagic infarsation with bleeding and dilatation of blood vessels sometimes occures, as well as trauma or inflammation.
