Abstract The ultrastructural features of haematoxylin bodies, present in a patient with active lupus glomerulonephritis, appear to include cellular elements, especially dense chromatin of probable neutrophil leucocyte origin and electro‐dense, immune complex‐like material. Although the participation of immune complexes in the formation of haematoxylin bodies has been previously proposed, this is the first reported demonstration of such deposits in haematoxylin bodies.
