Looks like there are blue dots in the septa suggesting foreign material. Calcium is a possibility so is ink. But I am not too sure that the density and distribution is in keeping with calciphyllaxis. Was also wondering if these were organisms but difficult for me at this power to say yes or no. Foreign material like ink is a possibility

I think there is calcium deposition in the wall of one of the blood vessels in the septa with intimal thikening and narrowing of the lumen, in addition to interstitial calcium deposition and fat necrosis. I think this could be calciphylaxis.
