| Infarct Small Intestine x10
|
•There is transmural necrosis of the small intestinal wall
•The absence of residual nuclei is a low power marker of
tissue necrosis
•The tissue can still reliably be identified as small
intestine by the presence of ghost outlines of mucosal villi
•Note the absence of polys, indicating an early stage in the
infarction with interruption of the blood supply interfering
with migration of polys into the necrotic tissue
