Quick frozen section of brain tumors, as well as the smear technique developed here at the Montreal Neurological Institute by the late Dr. W.V. Cone are extremely valuable means for arriving at a preliminary pathological diagnosis which can be relayed to the surgeon prior to the completion of an operation. We felt, however, that the fine histological distinction between benign and malignant intracranial lesions which arises in some cases could not be readily resolved by using the above techniques alone and that, perhaps, a technique could be devised to help clarify these problem cases.
