The transplant kidney biopsy showed focal mild interstitial fibrosis with tubular atrophy, glomeruli with lobulation of tufts, large endothelial cells with foamy cytoplasm (Figure 1), glomerular capillary endothelial cells, and mesangial cells containing lamellar and dense cytoplasmic inclusions or myelin bodies (Figure 2).
Electron microscopy of transplant kidney biopsy done 10 years post transplantation shows an endothelial and mesangial cell with numerous lamellar and dense cytoplasmic inclusions (myelin bodies) (black arrow). Glomerular capillary basement membrane is thickened (marked by star), and effacement of podocyte foot processes is present (white arrow).
