This an all-around useful stain for many things. It stains glycogen, mucin, mucoprotein, glycoprotein, as well as fungi. PAS is useful for outlining tissue structures--basement membranes, capsules, blood vessels, etc.
Candida in lung,
Glycogen in Ewing's sarcoma,
Nodular glomerulosclerosis in kidney

Remember also:
MACROPHAGES CONTAINING PAS-POSITIVE GRANULES IN THE LAMINA PROPRIA OF THE INTESTINAL MUCOSA IN WHIPPLE'S DISEASE. This is the only finding in optic microscopy, since the bacterium causing Whipple's disease (Tropheryma whippleii) is seen only in electron microscopy.
