Solitary abscess in rat brain: light and electron microscopy observations.
The authors describe the histological and ultrastructural features of a well demarcated single abscess. Histopathological features are consistent with those observed in experimental models and human material. In addition this study allowed the ultrastructural definition of some of the capsule components as meningothelial-like structures and myofibroblasts. Their possible role in the evolution of the lesion is discussed.
