Body:Disease:

 

Russel body = a plasma cell with retained immunoglobuline.g. rhinoscleroma

 

Michaelis-Gutman bodies seen in histiocytes and are thought to be phagolysomesmalakoplakia lesions are thought to be due to faulty phagocytosis of bacteria by macrophages

 

Nuclear inclusion bodiesHSV (herpes virus group), HPV

 

Cytoplasmic inclusion bodiespox viruses

 

Donovan bodies(safety pins) Granuloma Inguinale

 

Medlar bodieschromoblastomycosis

 

Henderson-Patterson bodies AKA molluscum bodies molluscum

 

Paschen/Guarnieri bodiessmall pox (cytoplasmic)

 

Colloid/Civatte bodiesLP (see below)

 

Kamino bodies apoptotic keratinocytes, basal layer above dermal papillaSpitz nevus

 

Lamellar/Odland bodiesabsent in harlequin fetus

 

Asteroid bodies

 

Schaumann bodies

 

Verocay bodiesSchwannoma

 

Weibel-Palade bodies endothelial cells contain a unique structure, the Weibel-Palade body, which is an electron denses, rod-shaped cytoplasmic organelleendothelial cells (no disease)

 

Barr bodies inactivated X chromosomes

 

Comma bodiesnon-Langerhans cell histiocytosis especially benign cephalic histiocytosis

 

caterpillar bodies = eosinophilic bodies that are elongate and sometimes segmented found in the epidermis of the blister roofPCT

 

Medlar bodies: the “copper pennies” of chromoblastomycosis;  they are dematiaceous (pigmented) spores, free floating or within cell (one of five dematiaceous fungi are the main causative agents)

 

Civatte and Colloid bodies:  seen on histopathology in LP;

eosinophilic hyaline cell remnants;  represent apoptotic cells
in the epidermis (Civatte bodies)
papillary dermis (colloid bodies)

 

Kamino bodies solitary or coalescent eosinophilic globules found at the dermoepidermal junction in Spitz nevi  (= bundles of extracellular filaments containing various components of the basement membrane; including laminin and type IV and VII collagen)

 

Russel body plasma cells distended by retained immunoglobulin (intensely eosinophilic)

seen in Rhinoscleroma with Mikulicz cells  (= large mononuclear cells with vacuolated cytoplasm; is a macrophage)

 

Weibel-Palade bodies seen in endothelial cells
