title: [Cell infiltration in nasal polyps and it's pathological significance].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the relation between inflammatory cells infiltration in nasal polyp tissues and it's pathogenesis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Nasal mucosa from 10 normal individual and 4 patients of nasal polyps were studied with immunohistochemical technique and histopathologic examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The number of eosinophils, CD68 positive cells and monocytes was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in nasal polyps tissues than in the normal controls.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Infiltration of inflammatory effector cells such as eosinphils and chronic inflammatory changes of the nasal mucosa might play a role in nasal polyps sprouting.
