This is a low-power photomicrograph of the retroperitoneal abscess. At this magnification, multiple dark-staining foci can be appreciated. These foci are Actinomyces colonies (arrows). These colonies are known as "sulfur granules" because in gross specimens they are visible to the naked eye as yellow grains, thus resembling grains of sulfur.
An abscess is a collection of pus (white blood cells) within a cavity formed by disintegrated tissue.
