Histology of the deep biopsy specimen identified features of granulomatous inflammation and palisading epithelioid cells, Langhans' giant cells, lymphocytes, and a few neutrophils with small foci of caseous necrosis (figure 1). Other histopathologic findings included generalized moderate hepatocellular atrophy and focal to diffuse aggregates of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and maerophages, some of which had centers of caseous necrosis, in the renal interstitium. Two of the three had yellow-tan, caseous necrosis of the palatine tonsils and multiple caseous yellow-tan plaques, 2- to 10-mm in diameter, on the mucosal surfaces of the esophagus, corpus, and pars pylorica. |
