Fig. 1. Histologically, colliquation necroses
are observed, mainly in the
white brain substance of corpus
medularis, appearing as brighter foci,
extensively vacuolized and with a reticular
structure. H/E, Bar = 30 µm.

Fig. 2. Haemorrhages of a various
size are observed among the necrotic
tissue. H/E, Bar = 35 µm.

Fig. 4. Muscular dystrophy, pectoral
musculature, hen. Hyaline degeneration
of muscle fibres (waxy degeneration).
Swol len homogeneous muscle
fibres, having lost their striated pattern,
with increased eosinophilia.
Centrally, necrobiotic lesions resulting
in muscle cell degradation (Zenker’s
necrosis). H/E, Bar = 25 µm.
