The sections show dense connective tissue (tendon) containing a cluster of cells with | |||
indistinct cellular borders, abundant foamy grey cytoplasm, and round/oval | |||
pale-staining nuclei with small nucleoli (histiocytes). The cell cluster has a small | |||
number of interspersed lymphocytes, and the centre of the cell cluster has acellular | |||
hyaline material (degenerative tendon). | |||
No calcification is identified. No giant cells are seen. | |||
No nuclear atypia is apparent and no mitotic activity is appreciated. | |||
