case_images: Photomicrography of the swelling of the forehead of the cat with leishmaniosis showing granulomatous inflammation with high number of Leishmania amastigotes, both intracellularly (arrowhead) and extracellularly (arrow). In some amastigotes, the basophilic rod-shaped kinetoplast is clearly visible (asterisk) (Diff-Quick stain, x400).
