Sinonasal Tissue Remodelling during Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Figure 2

Key histological features of sinonasal mucosa remodelling during chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections display tissue remodelling in sinonasal tissues from patients with CRS. (a) Normal mucosa, (b) epithelial denudation, (c) basement membrane thickening, (d) oedema, (e) epithelial hyperplasia, (f) glandular hyperplasia, (g) goblet cell hyperplasia, and (h) fibrosis. All images are captured at 20.05 x magnification. Black arrows indicate the different regions of interest.
