Abstract
Dendritic cells containing melanin pigment have been demonstrated with silver impregnation and bleaching techniques in the nasal cavities of both Caucasians and Negroes. They were found in the respiratory epithelium, nasal glands and commonly in the superficial and deep stroma of the septum and middle and inferior turbinates, particularly in adult Negroes. The presence of melanocytes explains the histogenesis of melanomas of the nasal cavity as primary neoplasms at this site.Keywords
