(A) Low-power view of interface between normal lung and nodule of CSH. (B) Low-power view of histiocytes with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm containing crystals within alveolar space. (C) High-power view of histiocytes with eosinophilic cytoplasm containing elongated, parallel, fine eosinophilic structures consistent with needle-like crystalloid material. Yellow arrow points to one of the crystals. (D,E) High-power view of histiocytes with eosinophilic cytoplasm containing needle-like crystalloid materials with surrounding lymphocytes and plasma cells. (F,I,J) PAS, CD138 and CD68 stain, respectively. (G,H) Immunohistochemistry for lambda light chain and kappa light chain, respectively. Dual staining pattern. Objective magnifications: (A,B) x4; (C-E) x40; and (F-J) x10. (Figure 4.)

Case 1: Histology. The biopsy of the back lesion (A) (4x, H&E) on low-power shows a partially eroded epidermis with areas of spongiosis and overlying parakeratosis and serum crust. Within the dermis, perivascular inflammation is seen, extending into the mid dermis. B, (20x, H&E) Higher-power highlights epidermal spongiosis and brisk inflammation containing increased numbers of eosinophils. The biopsy of the arm lesion (C) (4x, H&E) shows a discrete area of spongiosis and perivascular inflammation. D, (20x, H&E) Higher power shows prominent epidermal spongiosis with lymphocytic exocytosis and scattered intraepidermal eosinophils. Black arrows demonstrate infiltration with eosinophils both within the epidermis and throughout the dermis. (Fig 2.)

(A) Representative immunostaining images of liver sections from HAZV-infected wild-type, IFNAR1-/- and IFNAR1-/- MAVS-/- mice at the indicated time points. Scale bar: 200 um. (B) Representative immunostaining images of liver sections from wild-type and IFNAR1-/- mice at the indicated time points. Scale bars: 50 um. (C) Enlarged images of liver sections from IFNAR1-/- mice shown in (B). Scale bars: 20 um. (mouse (wild-type, IFNAR1-/-, IFNAR1-/- MAVS-/- mice; liver sections at multiple time points following Hazara virus HAZV infection); Fig 4.)

Histopathology of hepatobiliary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Top row: Explanted native liver (13 February 2025). (A) Hematoxylin and eosin (x200) showing dense histiocyte-like infiltration of the bile-duct walls with admixed lymphocytes. (B-D) Immunohistochemistry of the explant showing diffuse positivity for CD1a (B), Langerin/CD207 (C), and S100 (D). (E) PU.1 showing diffuse nuclear positivity. Bottom row: Allograft recurrence biopsy (29 January 2026). (F) Haematoxylin and eosin (x200). (G-J) CD1a (G), Langerin/CD207 (H), S100 (I), PU.1 (J). Scale bar 200x magnification. (Figure 2.)

Tuberculoid leprosy: (a, b) Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain showing superficial and deep dermal infiltration with non-caseating granulomas (black arrow) surrounded by numerous lymphocytes (white arrows) (a, x2; b, x4). (c) H&E; epidermal involvement with lymphocytic exocytosis (orange arrow) and absence of a grenz zone (x10). (d, e) H&E; perivascular granulomatous inflammation with abundant lymphocytes and Langhans-type giant cells (green arrows) (d, x20; e, x40). (f) Fite-Faraco stain: no acid-fast bacilli identified (x40). (FIGURE 3.)

Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining of myocardial tissue demonstrating a characteristic asteroid body. The black arrow highlights a distinct, star-shaped intracytoplasmic inclusion known as an asteroid body or stellate inclusion housed within a large multinucleated giant cell. These eosinophilic structures are frequently observed within granulomatous infiltrates on standard light microscopy. (human (myocardial tissue biopsy from a patient with cardiac sarcoidosis); Figure 5.)
