Filaricele grade 2. (a) Blocks of MCs (arrows) reach more than a third of the wall and are arranged in rows parallel to the luminal surface. (b) Cytoplasm of MCs (arrows) positive for CK-7; the spaces (#) are retraction artifacts. (c) Membrane pattern of D2-40 staining of MCs (arrows); retraction artifacts (#). (d) Mild, focal infiltrate of lymphocytes (arrow) among deep LVs (): transverse diameters vary from 21.2 μm to 64.4 μm (mean: 45.6 μm) ((a), (b) CK-7; (c), (d) D2-40. Scale bar = 50 μm).
