*Squamous metaplasia.

Features:<ref>ALS. 6 Feb 2009.</ref>
*Macrophages with brown fine granular pigment.
*Columnar morphology (normally cuboidal).
*"Drop-out" of individual cell -- the loss of individual cells.
Level of staining and time:<ref>3 Apr 2009.</ref>
*<1 h - no staining of membranes.

===Special stains===
*Hemosiderin +ve in hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
*PAS +ve in meconium-laden macrophages.<ref name=pmid11268705>{{cite journal |author=Povýsil C, Bennett R, Povýsilová V |title=CD 68 positivity of the so-called meconium corpuscles in human foetal intestine |journal=Cesk Patol |volume=37 |issue=1 |pages=7–9 |year=2001 |month=January |pmid=11268705 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
Useful to differentiate hemosiderin-laden macrophages and meconium laden macrophages:
*Hemosiderin stain -- +ve for old blood.
