An argentaffin cell is any enteroendocrine cell, a hormone-secreting cell present throughout the digestive tract. It is a property of melanin, and special stain can be applied to identify those granules.

The term enterochromaffin (EC) cell was first used in 1907. In 1914 Masson introduced a silver impregnation technique to demonstrate argentaffin cells, based on their capacity to form silver precipitates from a silver nitrate solution. It was also suggested at that time that the …

Argentaffin cell: Also known as enterochromaffin cells. Fairly common in duodenum. Located among epithelial cells lining the crypts of Lieberkühn (intestinal glands). Contain fine granules stainable by silver salts (argentophilic) and by dichromate, and located in the abluminal portion of the cell between the nucleus and the basement membrane.
