| 28 In small biopsies, especially those with extensive crush artifact, separation of SCLC from lymphoma on hematoxylin-eosin staining alone can be difficult; pancytokeratin and/or CD45RB (leukocyte common antigen) stains will usually resolve the problem. Lung tissue blocks were then taken and placed in formalin, dehydrated in a graded series of ethanol, embedded in paraffin, cut into 4-mm-thick serial sections, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome to identify inflammatory cells, connective tissue, and collagen deposition. Two slides from each wound specimen were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, rinsed in distilled water, and then dehydrated. |
