What is this structure? <image 1>
['Alzheimer s type II astrocyte', 'Bergman gliosis', 'Corpora amylacea', 'Eosinophilic granular body', 'Eosinophilic granular body']
The micrograph shows a basophilic concentrically laminated structure in the white matter that does not appear to be within the soma of a cell, characteristic of a corpora amylacea. Eosinophilic granular bodies are eosinophilic and contain multiple varyingly sized granules. They are characteristically found in low grade tumors like pilocytic astrocytomas, gangliogliomas or pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas. Negri bodies are eosinophilic neuronal inclusions caused by Rabies infection. Alzheimer type II astrocytes have an enlarged pale nucleus with no obvious cytoplasm and are seen in cases of hepatic encephalopathy. Bergmann gliosis occurs only in the cerebellum between the molecular and granular layers when Purkinje cells are lost.
