Myocardial infarct - circumscribed area of ischemic necrosis - coagulative necrosis. In the first 12 - 24 hours, myocardial fibers are still well delineated, with intense eosinophilic (pink) cytoplasm, but lost their transversal striations and the nucleus (left side of the picture). Notice a few myocardial fibers showing hypertrophy (increased size of the fiber, irregular shape of the nuclei).
Recent myocardial infarct (in the first 12 - 24 hours): myocardial fibers are still well delineated, with intense eosinophilic (pink) cytoplasm, but lost their transversal striations and the nucleus. The interstitial space may be infiltrated with red blood cells. Make the distinction between interstitial leucocytes (small, outside the myocardial fibers) and the myocardial nucleus (should be central and unique, but is absent here).

Histology and Explanation of Tuberculous LymhadenitisTuberculous lymphadenitis is a chronic specific granulomatous inflammation with caseation necrosis. The characteristic morphological element is the tuberculous granuloma (caseating tubercule) : giant multinucleated cells (Lan… Read More
Histology and Explanation of Purulent MeningitisPurulent leptomeningitis (suppurative leptomeningitis) is a diffuse purulent inflammation. The leptomeninges (arachnoida and piamater) contain purulent exudate (pus): leukocytes (neutrophils), fibrin, germs, proteins, necroti… Read More
Histology and Explanation of Squamous cell PapillomaSquamous cell papilloma (verruca vulgaris) is a benign epithelial tumor. Tumor cells proliferate and produce finger-like or warty projections; secondary, the subjacent vessels and connective tissue (fibrovascular core) grows … Read More
Histology and Classification of TumorsNeoplasia (tumors) are abnormal tissue proliferations, which develop exceeding normal tissue, uncoordinated with it. This uncontrolled tissue growing may continue even after cessation of the etiologic factor (self-maintaine… Read More
