  • Title: [Histomorphological study of the relation between mast cells and liver disease].
    Author: Leone G, Sansonno DE, Manghisi OG.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1986 Jan 28; 77(3-4):113-8. PubMed ID: 3945415.
    Abstract:
    In order to report the eventual role of mastzellen in hepatic pathology, we recorded the histological count on 75 sections of transcutaneous hepatic biopsies. We observed that there is no difference between the number and the localization of the mastzellen of normal subjects and those of nonevolving pathologies (Chronic Persistent Hepatitis, Portal Fibrosis, Steatosis). We saw consisent increase in number in the evolving pathologies and in particular near the collagenopoietic cytolitic foci, indicating a possible role of these elements in inflammation and in the production of collagen in liver diseases.
