[Eosinophilic granulocytes in the inflammatory infiltrate in basaliomas and spinaliomas]

In this study the proportion of eosinophilic leukocytes was examined in fifty sections of basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. With the aid of the specific technique of Schaefer and Fischer it was easy to identify eosinophilic leukocytes. The proportion of eosinophilic leukocytes was found to be smaller than the supposed number seen in H. E. sections. There is no significant difference of the number of eosinophilic leukocytes between the middle and the periphery of the tumor.
