An 18 year-old man presents with an infected sebaceous cyst on his back. This is excised and the pathology shows a sebaceous cyst with surrounding acute and chronic inflammatory cells. Some of the inflammatory cells engulf and remove the flakes of the extravasated keratin. Which of the following cells is involved in removal of extravasated keratin?
A. Eosinophil
B. Lymphocyte
C. Mast cells
D. Multinucleated giant cells
E. Neutrophils
Explanatory Notes:
The multinucleated giant cell (accumulation of macrophages) is the scavenging cell which removes "foreign body material" in this case extravasated keratin.
