STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Soft tissue reactive lesions are the most common lesions of the oral cavity. Although many studies have shown the interaction of mast cells with fibroblasts and their participation in fibrosis, the role of mast cells in these lesions is not well understood. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the mast cells (MCs) count in oral soft-tissue reactive lesions in...

However, very few studies have focused on the detailed histopathological features of these reactive lesions of oral cavity. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to document the occurrence, distribution and various histopathological features of reacti...
