title: Hyaline bodies: some observations on their ultrastructure.
abstract: The ultrastruct of hyaline bodies was examined. Their constant association with elements of squamous epithelium pointed to an epithelial component in their structure. Elements of red blood cells, blood vessels, and endothelium were not evi-ent in these hyaline bodies, thereby negating avascular origin. Due to ultrastrucural limitations, the exact composition of the structures could not be determined.
