Abstract

|
|
To clarify the changes in the of tissue mast cells in the uterine cervical lesions, 50 biopsied and operated cases were selected and toluidine blue stains were perf-ormed with modified Radden´s method, and counted numbers of tissue mast cells in 20 high power fields.
The results obtained are as follows;
1. The numbers of tissue mast cells were 5-12/20 HPF, in cases which showed mild inflammatory reaction in the uterine cervix.
2. In cases which showed many lymphocytes and plasma cells, the range of tissue mast cells was 89-132/20HPF.
3. In cases which exhibited many neutrophils in addition to lymphocytes and plas-ma cells, the numbers of tissue mast cells were 16-53/20HPF.
4. There was no tissue mast cells in the stroma of invasive squamous cell car-cinoma. And the numbers of tissue mast cells near the malignant lesions were corresponded to the nature of accompanied inflammatory conditions.
The above findings suggest that there is an absolute increase of tissue mast cells in chronic inflammatory lesion and seems no direct relationship between the num-bers of tissue mast cells and malignant lesion of the uterine cervix.
