Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the skin. Although an increase in mast cell infiltration was observed in BCC lesions, definite evidence of an active role of mast cells in the pathogenesis of BCC is still lacking. BCC is accompanied by cellular infiltrates. Moreover, the stroma in the BCC lesions is characterized by an increased number of mast cells and increased vascularity. The aim of this study was to elucidate the probable role of mast cells in BCC, especially focusing on the relationship between mast cells and lymphocytic infiltration as well as angiogenesis.
