Pierre Masson
Claude L. Pierre Masson (November 12, 1880 – May 11, 1959) was a Canadian medical doctor. He was considered one of the leading histopathologists of his era.[1]
He was born in
brain tumours. Masson developed a three-stain protocol used in histology known as "Masson's trichrome stain". In 1927, he left Strasbourg to become chair of the Pathology department at the Université de Montréal.[3] Masson reworked the pathology curriculum at the university and reorganized the pathology laboratories there. He retired from that position in 1954.[1]
He died at the age of 79 and was buried in the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery.[3]
Masson was named to the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 1997.[1]
