Cytophotometric investigations on atypical epithelial cells of the human seminal vesicle

Abstract

Normal seminal vesicles were studied histologically in 80, and by Feulgen's cytophotometric method in 10 autopsied cases (males, 44-82 years of age). In every case large, hyperchromatic nuclei were found. By cytophotometry euploid polyploid atypia was also shown in every case, which is characteristic of benign hormonal dysplasia.
