Lymphatic Endothelial Cell in Endemic Bancroftian Filariasis: A Focus on the Lymphatics of the Tunica Vaginalis Testis

<div>Filaricele grade 0. (a) Dilated LVs (asterisks) pat different levels of the wall. No inflammatory activity is observed. (b) Transverse diameters (blue lines) of the LVs are, respectively, 136.2 <i>μ</i>m and 438.2 <i>μ</i>m. (c) Lymphatic (asterisk) receiving a branch (thick arrow) from smaller and more superficial vessels (thin arrow). (d) MCs are seen only on the luminal surface (arrows) ((a) HE; (b), (c) D2-40; and (d) CK-7. Scale bar = 50 <i>μ</i>m).</div>
