Abstract:
The behaviour of intracellular lipids (Sudan black B), PAS positivity peroxidase and hydrolytic enzymes (acid and alkaline phosphatase, aspecific esterases) was studied in normal and tumour cells from serous effusions. It is suggested that the practical application of such method to the diagnosis of effusions should be checked over a wider range of case material.
