Abstract
Partial turbinectomies were done in 13 patients suffering from chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. The mucous membranes were fine-dissected, and mucous elements were stained and counted using the PAS-alcian blue whole-mount method. Cross-sections were made from the whole-mount specimens. There was a great variety of epithelial types. Comparison of the density of mucous elements in normal patients and patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis revealed no statistically significant differences.
