Other Diagnostic Studies
- Biopsy of lesions may be beneficial
- Biopsy of affected organs shows characteristic changes in about half[1] to 75%[2] the clinically diagnosed cases.
- Biopsy of skin lesions is often revealing in patients with cutaneous involvement.
- Transverse sections of affected arterioles, show occlusion of the lumen by biconvex needle-shaped cholesterol crystals, which dissolve during histologic processing to leave clefts, surrounded by fibrin and platelet thrombi, sometimes in association with foreign-body giant cells and intimal thickening.
