This is a gross photograph of the heart from this case demonstrating the well-formed
thrombus (arrow) tightly attached to the myocardium near the apex of the left ventricle.
-
This is a low-power photomicrograph of the
thrombus (1) attached to the myocardium (2).
-
This higher-power photomicrograph shows the border between the
thrombus on the right (1) and the endocardium on the left (2). There is a line of inflammatory cells at this interface (arrow).
-
This is a high-power photomicrograph of the border zone between the
thrombus (1) and the endocardium (2). In this region there is less inflammation at the border zone.
-
This photomicrograph illustrates the layered effect of the
thrombus.
-
This is a higher-power photomicrograph of the
thrombus. Note the pale regions which contain primarily platelets (degranulated platelets) with some fibrin (1), and the red areas which contain RBCs, some leukocytes, and fibrin(2).
-
This high-power photomicrograph of
thrombus demonstrates more clearly the components of the layers--the pale regions which contain primarily platelets (degranulated platelets) with some fibrin (1), and the red areas which contain RBCs, some leukocytes, and fibrin (2).
