This study evaluated the potential of the paraffinization technique, which was introduced some 80 years ago, to preserve gross biologic specimens. The paraffin-impregnated specimens were dry, odorless, of good quality, and did not deteriorate over time. Additionally, histological properties of specimens were preserved for at least 3 years. This method was simple and inexpensive, and found to be useful for both instruction and research in the fields of anatomy, pathology and zoology.
