A total of thirty pterygia were studied for mast cells using metachromatic dye (toluidine blue) together with routine histological stains. On microscopic examination, the lesion was differentiated and classified into angiomatous, fibrous and mixed varieties based on the vascular and collagenous components. The mast cell counts were undertaken in all types and were found to have significant correlation with the morphological types when compared to normal conjunctiva. 15.1 +/- 3.1, 22.7 +/- 3.8, 9.5 +/- 3.2 mast cell per mm2 were found in the angiomatous, mixed and fibrous types respectively. In the control material, the mast cell count was 12.4 +/- 2.3 per mm2. The results are discussed. It is believed that mast cells are actively involved in the genesis and progress of pterygium.
使用异染性染料（甲苯胺蓝）以及常规组织学染色法，对总共30例翼状胬肉进行了肥大细胞研究。经显微镜检查，根据血管和胶原成分，将病变区分为血管瘤样、纤维样和混合型。对所有类型均进行了肥大细胞计数，结果发现与正常结膜相比，肥大细胞计数与形态学类型存在显著相关性。血管瘤样、混合型和纤维样类型中每平方毫米分别发现有15.1±3.1、22.7±3.8和9.5±3.2个肥大细胞。在对照材料中，肥大细胞计数为每平方毫米12.4±2.3个。对结果进行了讨论。据信肥大细胞积极参与了翼状胬肉的发生和发展。
