A study has been made of mast cells (MC) in surgically resected appendices using a long
toluidine blue (LTB) staining method. The numbers of MC in measured areas of both …

Objectives: The mast cell remains an enigmatic cell, found resident in tissues throughout the
body particularly in association with structures such as blood vessels and nerves. Various …

Two hundred appendices were studied for mucosal and submucosal mast cell counts. In
histologically normal appendices mucosal mean mast cell count (47.63/sq mm) was more …

The relationship of mast cells, nerves and fibrosis was studied in 50 cases of Appendix
using simple histochemical technique. In the mucosa, the mast cell number was greater in …

In the present study total 100 appendices were studied by using simple histochemical
techniques, an attempt was made to study the mast cell in variety of appendicular pathology …

Aim and objective: To study the number and distribution of mast cells in surgically resected
appendices of normal and inflamed, age and sex wise. Introduction: Mast cells play an …

Mast cells are closely associated with nerves in the mucosa of the appendix vermiformis,
and obliteration of the appendiceal lumen by fibrous tissue is accompanied by neurogenous …

Mast cells are known to be effector cells in various inflammatory reactions, but their role in
appendicitis is unclear. The present study was undertaken to investigate the extent of mast …

Appendectomy specimens due to acute appendicitis are among the most common surgical
resection specimens. The hallmark histologic finding of acute appendicitis is neutrophilic …

Fifteen percent to 25% of appendices resected for a preoperative diagnosis of acute
appendicitis have no neutrophilic infiltration, thus histologically “normal.” The discrepancy …
