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.
