Figure 1 Histologic evaluation of cytolytic thrombi. A, Pulmonary cytolytic thrombus. The thrombus consists predominantly of cells with monocytoid features; the muscular wall of the artery can be seen on top (stain, hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification, ×600). B, Strong membrane reactivity for common leukocyte antigen. A negatively stained arterial wall is seen at the right (immunoperoxidase stain for CD45; original magnification, ×600). C, Intense cytoplasmic reactivity for the monocyte-macrophage marker CD68. A negatively stained arterial wall is seen at the bottom right (immunoperoxidase stain; original magnification, ×600). D, Intense cytoplasmic reactivity for myeloperoxidase is seen in cells of the cytolytic thrombus. A negatively stained arterial wall is seen at the left (immunoperoxidase stain; original magnification, ×600). E, Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showing 2 cells of female origin (2 green centromere X signals) and 1 male cell (1 green centromere X signal and 1 red centromere Y signal).
