The paraffin section of formalin-fixed temporal lobe biopsy in low and high magnification view.

<p>(A) Low-magnification view of the paraffin portion of the formalin-fixed temporal lobe biopsy shows an immature <i>Schistosoma</i> egg surrounded by granuloma and glial cells. (B) High magnification shows two eggs with shells displaying the diagnostic acentric spine shape of immature <i>Schistosoma</i> eggs. Histiocytes near the eggs highlight that the nuclei of <i>Schistosoma</i> are smaller than those of the host’s cells.</p
