(A) Histopathology of lymph nodes (obtained from the post-operative surgical sample) (×100) stained with hematoxylin-eosin revealed perinodal fibrosis (solid black arrow) with prominence of plasma cells (dashed black arrows) which are characteristics of sclerosing mediastinitis. (B) At higher magnification (×400), the characteristic lamellar bands of dense fibrosis (inside the rectangle) similar to a keloid scar, with interspersed inflammation (inside the circle) were seen.
