Argentaffin cells were searched for in the epithelial nests of 30 Brenner's tumors, with the Fontana-Masson stain for the screening. Although these cells were found in five tumors, ultrastructural examination of one case, in which the argentaffin cells were multiple, identified the cytoplasmic granules as lysosomes and not as amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation (APUD)-type granules. We conclude that the epithelial component of Brenner's tumors consists of urothelium only and does not include the cells containing argentaffin APUD-type granules.
采用Fontana-Masson染色对30例Brenner瘤的上皮巢进行亲银细胞筛查。虽然在5例肿瘤中发现了这些细胞，但对其中1例亲银细胞较多的病例进行超微结构检查发现，其胞质颗粒为溶酶体，而非胺前体摄取与脱羧（APUD）型颗粒。我们得出结论，Brenner瘤的上皮成分仅由尿路上皮组成，不包括含亲银APUD型颗粒的细胞。
