4 Eosinophilic Granular Bodies Eosinophilic granular bodies or simply EGB’s are rounded inclusions within the astrocyte cytoplasm containing granular pink material. They are mainly seen in lowgrade tumours such as pilocytic astrocytoma or ganglion cell tumours. 5 Corpora Amylacea These are rounded grey-blue cytoplasmic inclusions containing glucose polymers (‘starch body’; intensely PAS-positive) mainly seen in the perivascular, subpial and subventricular regions (Fig. 5b). These inclusions accumulate in aging and also in a condition called ‘Polyglucosan body disease’.
In long standing or severe injury, the astrocytes proliferate and show prominent thin overlapping cytoplasmic processes rich in glial filaments. This is termed ‘fibrillary 22 2 Basic Pathologic Reactions a b Fig. 4 (a) Reactive gliosis showing numerous gemistocytic astrocytes. H&E stain, (b) longstanding fibrillary gliosis. PTAH stain gliosis’ (Fig. 4b) which eventually leads to formation of a compact glial scar. This glial scar acts as a barrier and prevents entry of inflammatory cells and infectious agents [1].
