Russel body = a plasma cell with retained immunoglobulin | e.g. rhinoscleroma |
Nuclear inclusion bodies | HSV (herpes virus group), HPV |
Cytoplasmic inclusion bodies | pox viruses |
Donovan bodies | (safety pins) Granuloma Inguinale |
Medlar bodies | chromoblastomycosis |
Paschen/Guarnieri bodies | small pox (cytoplasmic) |
Colloid/Civatte bodies | LP (see below) |
Kamino bodies apoptotic keratinocytes, basal layer above dermal papilla | Spitz nevus |
Lamellar/Odland bodies | absent in harlequin fetus |
Asteroid bodies
Schaumann bodies
Weibel-Palade bodies endothelial cells contain a unique structure, the Weibel-Palade body, which is an electron denses, rod-shaped cytoplasmic organelle | endothelial cells (no disease) |
caterpillar bodies = eosinophilic bodies that are elongate and sometimes segmented found in the epidermis of the blister roof | PCT |
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
