title: Histochemical analysis of nasal polyps.
abstract: In the last 3 years, 86 nasal polyps from 76 patients were examined. Special attention was paid to the group of recurrent nasal polyps, which redeveloped from 2 to 17 times. Histological analysis was performed concerning the eosinophils, mast cells, acid and neutral mucopolysaccharides, acetylcholinesterase and fluorescence on monoamines. Macroscopically, nasal mucosa in 53 patients was considered for control purposes. The comparison was made and the results of the examination reviewed.
