A study was made of the ammoniacal silver staining of the cells of Hodgkins
disease, lymphosarcoma, follicular lymphoma, acute leukemia and chronic
leukemia as seen in routine 5 µ. paraffin sections. With the exception of
chronic lymphatic leukemia, the cells of lymphomas and allied diseases exhibited minimal staining. These data were compared with the ammoniacal
silver staining of normal lymph nodes and the enhanced staining of nonneoplastic proliferations in developing and reactive lymph nodes.
