Abstract

Biopsies from lesional skin of patients with histologically confirmed mycosis fungoides were embedded in resin and semi-thin ( I micrometer) sections were submitted to a variety of staining procedures, including Toluidine blue, Richardson's Huber, Giemsa, Paragon and Tribasic stains. The stained sections were examined with the light microscope and the quality of cellular morphological detail afforded by the different stains was assessed. The Toluidine blue, Richardson's and Paragon stains were found to be technically easy to perform and gave the best representation of nuclear and cytoplasmic detail Of these, the authors favoured Richardson's stain. The technique of processing the tissue, and staining a mounting procedures are detailed.
