DISCUSSION From our study an opportunity arises to compare the mast cell counts in the
different soft tissue tumours collected. The general means for the three main orroups are
given; it is clear that the maximum number of mast cells was found in the vascular tumours. A
lower number occurred in the nerve sheath tumours and the lowest values were obtained for
the mesodermal tumours. The-facts mentioned above indicate that considering the number
