Chenille body- string of beads appearance in elastofibroma. Verhoff's elastin stain highlights this finding. It shows elastic fibres globular pattern. H and E shows alternate thick and thin collagenThe fragments of elastic fibers seen in elastofibroma are typically arranged linearly, creating a "beads on a string" appearance, and are known as chenille bodies.
