The organized lymphoid tissue is replaced by multiple small foci of epitheloid cells and MGCs and an extensive infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells (A, B higher magnification of A, HE). There are no mycobacteria in the granulomatous infiltrate (C, immunohistochemistry MAP). Bar in A = 500 μm, bar in B = 100 μm, bar in C = 10 μm.Back to article page
