Abstract
The rate and degree of occurrence of the eosinophil leukocyte and plasma cell in the nasal polyps obtained surgically from 175 patients were investigated histopathologically.
Varying degrees of the eosinophil infiltration were noted in 60% of the patients, and plasma cells were observed more or less in 88% of the patients, suggesting that some allergic factors might be involved in the polyp formation in the nasal cavity.
Relatively high degree of the infiltration of both inflammatory cells was detectable in the edematous type of the polyps. However, little infiltration of these cells was seen in the fibrous polyps.
The pertinent literature of the eosinophil leukocyte and plasma cell in the nasal polyps was discussed briefly.
