(intermed mag): Infiltrate of activated histiocytes. Round and oval defects contain faintly basophilic organisms that vary in size. Organisms tend to marginate at the periphery of defects.
	mixed infiltrate with pale staining organisms. Individual organisms separated from neighbor inflammatory cells by symmetrically rounded clear space. Organisms centrally are in cytoplasm of giant cell.
	silver methenamine stain showing numerous organisms
	silver methenamine stain with loosely spaced organisms all outlined by rounded, clear spaces. Organisms with narrow-based buds are represented. Some of the organisms are concave along one surface.
	mucicarmine stain. The capsule of the organisms is mucicarminophilic. This is characteristic but not diagnostic.
