C Prominent submucosal lymphoid follicles observed in the dilated segment with presence of cryptitis/crypt abscess (white arrow). Paucity of spindled interstitial cells of Cajal within the muscularis propria as demonstrated by lack of c-kit (CD117) immunostain. D Mast cells in the submucosa and lamina propria are highlighted (circles). Submucosal and intermyenteric ganglion cells (blue arrow) are present and normal in distribution highlighted by antibodies for S-100 (E) and Calretinin (F)
