A series of testicular fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimens from 272 infertile men with azoospermia were reviewed and categorized according to morphologic patterns. These included active spermatogenesis, 14 (5 %); hypospermatogenesis, 106 (39%); Sertoli cells only, 70 (26%); atrophic pattern, 52
The aim of our work was to study the number and distribution of tryptase-and chymase-containing mast cells in benign and malignant breast lesions. Tryptase positivity reflects the total number of mast cells, whereas chymase is not present in all mast cells. Active forms of tryptase and chymase were
