[Histonet] RE: Asbestos Body Digestion

Why do you want to dissolve these?
I seem to remember that these are usually characteristic shaped structures that are iron positive and should be easy to identify on morphology alone or am I mistaken?

Subject: [Histonet] Asbestos Body Digestion

Does anyone know about a digestion procedure for asbestos bodies on FFPE
lung tissue? Our pathologist remembers that someone used to do this at
SUNY. I'd appreciate your feedback. 
 
Thanks,
Joyce
