Abstract
Corpuscula, cytoplasmic organelles of stratified squamous epithelium, are seen in the deeper part of the stratum granulosum of normal and hyperplastic epidermis of the mouse. It is possible that their content is extruded into the intercellular spaces of the stratum granulosum. Their role in the process of keratinization is not clear.
