 Lugol staining is a useful method to detect the small superficial carcinoma and to decide the proximal resection line of esophageal carcinoma with unexpectedly wide spread. To know the histopathological meaning of the Lugol unstained area of the esophagus, we examined 155 unstained lesions in resected esophageal specimens. Although the Lugol staining pattern is delicately different in each case due to the concentration of the iodine solution and the time needed to dye with good contrast, we classified the Lugol staining pattern into five grades by the staining grade and the marginal shape. Grade Ⅰ; hyperstained area. Grade Ⅱ; normal stained area. Grade ⅢA; less stained area with illdemarcated margin. Grade ⅢB; lesss tained area with well-demarcated margin. Grade Ⅳ; no stained area. We analyzed the relationship between grades and the histopathlogical findings by measuring the thickness of the glycogen-containing cell layers. We obtained the following conclusions.

 1) Lugol test, which is a chemical reaction between glycogen and iodine, involves the prickle cell layer of the squamous epithelium.

 2) The Lugol unstained areas correspond to such lesions as esophagitis, atypical epithelium, squamous cell carcinoma, so-called carcinosarcoma, Barrett esophagus, ectopic gastric mucosa, papilloma, and hyperkeratosis.

 3) Staining grades correlate with the glycoge ncon tent in the epithelium and the ratio of the glycogen con-taining cell layers to the whole epithelium layers.

 4) This classification of the Lugol staining pattern corresponds well to the histopathological findings.

 5) Analysis of the ratio of glycogen containing cells might be helpful in differentiating esophagitis, atypical epithelium and carcinoma in situ.
