Panel (a) demonstrates the fatty deposits in adventitia and inflammatory cells surrounding the media of this arteriole are seen (H&E, 200 Ò²). Panel (b) shows the deposition of lipids and infiltration of lipid-laden foamy cells in the tunica intima and tunica media together with severe narrowing by atherosclerotic plaque, with several hemorrhagic necrotic cores (H&E, 400 Ò²). Panel (c) indicates histologic finding with fibrous tissue, and necrotic core (H&E, 400 Ò²). Panel (d) shows microscopic section of the coronary artery shows thickening of the vascular wall by atherosclerotic deposits and hemorrhage. (H&E, 200 Ò²)
