The sections show fibrous tissue with minimal adipose tissue that is covered by mesothelium. A mixed inflammatory infiltrate is present that consists primarily of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Rare eosinophils are seen. Abundant hemosideratin-laden macrophages are seen. | The sections show fibrous tissue with minimal adipose tissue that is covered by mesothelium. A mixed inflammatory infiltrate is present that consists primarily of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Rare eosinophils are seen. Focally, neutrophils are seen and associated with reactive mesothelial cells. Abundant hemosideratin-laden macrophages are seen. No fibrinous strands are seen. No significant nuclear atypia is identified and no atypical infiltrative cell population is identified. No micro-organisms are identified with routine staining. | ||
