Cells of immune
system comprised of lymphoid series and myeloid progenitor series cells. Mast
cells and tissue eosinophils both are granulocytes which come under myeloid
progenitor series of immune cells system.
The presence of
mast cells in odontogenic
cyst could contribute to their pathogenesis in several ways. Mast cells
liberate ECF (Eosinophils chemoattractant factor) and histamine, which attract
eosinophils in tissue.
Mast cells and
eosinophils both have also been implicated in stimulating the production of
prostaglandins, important in bone resorption for odontogenic cyst growth.
