The AJKD Atlas of Renal Pathology presents a compilation of figures on a specific pathologic entity. You
may download the figures to create your own personal, non-commercial library of images or to create slides for
teaching purposes.

Fig 1. Renal sarcoidosis is manifest by multiple sharply delin-eated non-necrotizing granulomas with frequent epithelioid-type multinucleated giant cells with accompanying interstitialfibrosis and lymphoplasmacytic interstitial infiltrate, as illustratedhere. (Jones’ Silver Stain, original magnification 3100).
Fig 2. The well delineated non-necrotizing granulomas typicalof sarcoidosis are illustrated here, with adjacent tubulointerstitialfibrosis. Giant cells are evident. (Jones Silver Stain, originalmagnification 3200).

Fig 3. The large giant cells comprising the non-necrotizinggranulomas typical of renal sarcoidosis are evident in this bi-opsy, with surrounding lymphoplasmacytic interstitial infiltrateand early tubulointerstitial fibrosis. (Jones Silver Stain, originalmagnification 3200).
Fig 4. A well-delineated granuloma is seen surrounding anintact glomerulus in this case of renal sarcoidosis. There arenumerous giant cells and surrounding lymphocytes and plasmacells with early interstitial fibrosis. (Hematoxylin and Eosin, orig-inal magnification 3200).
Fig 5. The multinucleated giant cell typical of sarcoidosis isshown under high magnification in this biopsy. (Periodic AcidSchiff, original magnification 3400).
