Abstract

The qualitative and quantitative study on mast cells and bFGF in 40 cases of infant hemangiomas of the grandulae parotid and 5 cases of normal grandulae parotid tissues were investigated by special mast cell staining methods, immunohistochemistry and image analysis technique. The quantity, area and average density of MC remarkably increased, there were significant differences. The mast cells mainly distributed around premature blood vessels and in parotid gland leaves; bFGF was highly expressed in infant hemangiomas of grandulae parotid. Its immuno-reactivity was present in the cytoplasm of endotheliocytes,mainly in extracellular matrix, distributed in light reticulation. It is concluded that there was a close relationship between bFGF and mast cell in proliferation of infant hemangiomas of grandulae parotid.
