Figure 1
Histological aspects of ectopic locations of E. vermicularis: low-power view: (a) and (c) (cases 1 and 2, respectively) (Masson Goldner trichrome, original magnification x50 (a) and H&E x125 (c)). At higher magnification: (b) (case 1), numerous eggs oval in shape with a thick shell, sometimes calcified are seen, fragments remnants of the uterine wall of the nematode are still present (arrows) (Masson Goldner trichrome, original magnification x250). At higher magnification: (d) (case 2) in the center of suppurative tissue eggs-shaped formations at time.
