Fat necrosis, light micrograph
Light micrograph of necrotic (dead) fat cells. The fat cells (round white circles) are surrounded by foamy histiocytes (smaller light grey-pink circles), which are a type of chronic inflammatory cell. Fat necrosis occurs when the fat cells are damaged due to trauma or other disease processes. Haematoxylin and eosin stained tissue section. Magnification: x400 when printed at 10cm wide., by ZIAD M.
