Dog, spleen. Main histologic characteristics observed in splenic nodules with mixed stromal, histiocytic and lymphoid components. (A) CD20 immunohistochemistry (IHC): positivity of lymphocytes arranged in follicles and of fewer diffusely-distributed lymphocytes. (B) CD3 IHC: positivity of the diffuse lymphoid infiltrate. (C) Hematoxylin and eosin (HE): spindle cells with nuclear atypia and plasma cell infiltrate. (D) HE: stromal, histiocytic and lymphoid components irregularly admixed. (E) Same field after desmin IHC, highlighting stromal cells. (F) Same field after CD18 IHC, highlighting histiocytic cells. (G) HE: cells displaying karyomegaly. (H) Desmin IHC: strong cytoplasmic positivity of karyomegalic cells. (I) CD18 IHC: diffuse negativity of karyomegalic cells.
