Figure 3. Elastica van Gieson stain of (a) pulmonary artery aneurysm (between arrows) with thrombus (T) (× 12 magnification; scale bar = 1,000 µm) and (b) pulmonary artery and inflammatory infiltrate (× 50 magnification; scale bar = 500 µm). There are (1) destruction of lamina elastica of vessel wall and (2) inflammatory infiltrate consisting of macrophages and neutrophilic granulocytes (T: thrombus; B: bronchus; C: cartilage).
