Paula -

Thank you for your summary. It was very clear.

This may be a dumb question, but what are Lewy bodies exactly? At autopsy, are they microscopic or visible to the naked eye? Are they uneven growths, like a tumor, or are they smooth like those bubbles in tapioca? If they are present in other places, are they palpable?

Thanks.

Ann
