高倍镜下的Aschoff小体。它组成成份是风湿细胞，体积大，可有双核或多核（核仁很明显）。旁边可见散在的炎性细胞，其中有单核细胞或有时可见嗜中性粒细胞。
Here is an Aschoff nodule at high magnification. The most characteristic component is the Aschoff giant cell. Several appear here as large cells with two or more nuclei that have prominent nucleoli. Scattered inflammatory cells accompany them and can be mononuclears or occasionally neutrophils.
