Abstract
The appearance of mast cells at eruption sites was examined in acute (ACLE) and chronic (CCLE) cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (LE). As shown by toluidine blue staining and c-kit immunostaining, mast cells were significantly more abundant around the sebaceous glands than in the control for both ACLE and CCLE. However, no specific difference was noted in the numbers and distribution of mast cells between ACLE and CCLE.
