Immunoreactive keratin with foreign body reaction in anencephaly.
Keratinous material, in the form of epithelial squames often with foreign body reaction and dense gliosis, was demonstrated in all of ten cases of anencephaly by a sensitive and specific immunohistochemical stain. In some cases keratin was not recognized on routine histological stains.
