[Method of embedding the breast in acetylcellulose].

A new method of preparation and embedding the mamma from mature and elderly women has been suggested for the total histologic study. Acetylcellulose obtained from safety film (used for x-ray, cinema and photography) was used as an embedding material instead of celloidine that is not readily available. The method suggested can be widely applied both for research, and practical activities of pathoanatomists in total histotopographic study of the organ.
