Chronic hemorrhage with hemosiderin. Tissue aspirate. Dog.

The macrophage directly below the cholesterol crystal contains blue-green granular material the cytoplasm consistent with hemosiderin, a breakdown product of erythrocytes. On the left edge is a macrophage with large black granules suggestive of hemosiderin. (Wright; HP oil.)
