Abstract

Asbestos body-like structures (“ferruginous bodies”) found in some of the smears prepared from lungs of 450 consecutive necropsies in Zagreb were studied with particular reference to the morphological features of the iron-staining reaction of ferruginous coating. From this study it appears that there are no differences in iron staining properties of the coating which would serve to distinguish between ferruginous bodies of asbestotic and those of nonasbestotic origin. The colour pictures of the unstained (native) and the corresponding stained ferruginous bodies are presented.
