... stroma between these cells was fibrotic, with prominent bone and osteoid formation, at the edge of which quite a lot of the multinucleated giant cells were attached. (Figures 1-4) Also, there were a lot of hemosiderin-laden histiocytic aggregations. The mitotic count was low (checked also with Phospho-Histone H3 antibody), ranging to 3-4 mitoses / 10 high resolution visual fields (×400). ...
