Note destruction of internal elastic lamina in this region. Adventitia (A) and periadventitial soft tissue show collections of lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrates (black arrow; hematoxylin-eosin stain, 50×). b, High-power magnification view of lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate within aneurysm wall (hematoxylin-eosin stain, 100×). c, Immunohistochemical stains for T-cell markers (CD3) show predominantly T lymphocytic population (100×).
