Under a magnification of 950X, this photomicrograph of a hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) stained cardiac tissue sample included a microgumma lesion, confirming a diagnosis of syphilis. Microgumma seen in the heart, possess a central zone of necrosis, surrounded by large numbers of plasma cells and lymphocytes, while vascular proliferation is present on the periphery.
