title: [Histomorphological findings in the pancreas in diabetes mellitus (author's transl)].
abstract: There are some morphological signs for the clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The macroscopical findings of the skull (yellow staining, hyperostosis frontalis), of the liver (steatosis), of the pancreas (pancreatitis, atrophy) and the consistency of the brain as well as some histological changes of the pancreas may be important for the diagnosis. Our investigations of specimens form the pancreas of 100 diabetics and 50 nondiabetics allow the conclusion that amyloidosis and increased number of mast cells in the islets of Langerhans and an interstitial fibrosis of the pancreas can be used in the practice as signs for diabetes mellitus.
