Mast cells in pterygium: number and phenotype.

Japanese journal of ophthalmology - 1 Jan 2000

Nakagami T, Murakami A, Okisaka S, Ebihara N

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To investigate the pathogenesis of pterygium. METHODS: The number and phenotype of mast cells were examined in excised tissue from 35 pterygia patients and compared with those in normal conjunctival specimens obtained during cataract or other intraocular surgery. RESULTS: Toluidine blue staining showed that the mean number of mast cells in the pterygia specimens was twice as high as that in the normal...
