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 …

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 …

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 …

Introduction Twenty to thirty percent appendices removed from patients with suspected
appendicitis appear normal on histology. The cause of pain in these patients is unknown …

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 …

Background/aims: In the gastrointestinal system, the relationship between the enteric
nervous system and mast cells has been described in normal and pathological conditions …

Abstract 120 consecutive appendicectomies and 20 appendices from medicolegal autopsies
were studied. The cases were grouped as. A: Acute appendicitis. B: Acute presentation, not …

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 …

Introduction: High negative appendectomy rate still prevails on conventional histologic
examination. Increased mural eosinophilic infiltrate had been observed in acute …
