Mucin histochemical studies of 114 cases of mucinous carcinoma of the stomach and 41 cases of mucinous carcinoma of the large intestine, together with the normal epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract, were performed. The following results were obtained.1) Proper gastric mucous epithelium contains neutral mucin with little non-sulfated acid mucin and sulfated acid mucin was rarely observed.2) Both intestinal goblet cells and metaplastic goblet cells of the stomach contain acid mucin. While large intestinal goblet cells contain sulfated acid mucin, small intestinal goblet cells contain no sulfated acid mucin but only nonsulfated acid mucin. Some metaplastic goblet cells of the stomach contain sulfated acid mucin.3) Non-sulfated acid mucin was detected in almost all cases and sulfated acid mucin was demonstrated in about half cases of mucinous carcinoma of the stomach.4) Non-sulfated acid mucin was detected in all cases and sulfated acid mucin was demonstrated in most cases of mucinous carcinoma of the large intestine.
