Abstract

Myocardial Epithelial Inclusions were presented with gross, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings in a 6-month-old aborted Simmental breed fetus.
A distinct, circular, unencapsulated white lesion, measuring up to 2.5 mm in diameter was detected on the free wall of the left ventricular myocardium. Histopathological examination revealed a densely cellular focus with tubular, ductular, or acinar structures surrounded by abundant collagen.


As a result, it is important to accurately identify MEIs to prevent misinterpretation of this lesion during postmortem examinations.
