NOSE POLYPOSIS AND THE ANTIGENIC INDUCTION OF THE NOSE MUCOSAKeywords: Nose polyposis , antigenic induction of the nose mucosa Abstract: An estimate was done of the frequency of appearance of the immune response equivalents (lymph follicle neoformations), their nature and pathogenic importance. The samples of 100 nose polyps and para-nasal cavities were analyzed. On the basis of the examined material a classic image of andenomatous, fibromatous and angiomatous polyps that that can be either cystic or edematous was found out. The lining epithelium is disturbed in the sense of a greater presence of goblet-like cells with respect to the cylindrical cells; it goes even as far as to the partial goblet-cell metaplasia that even takes the form of the polyp denudation. In the case of a great number of polyps it is surprising that the lymph follicle neoformation appearance in the exposed to the antigenic and non-antigenic stimuli is very rare.
