Localisation of basic fibroblast growth factor in cholesteatoma matrix: an immunochemical study.

CONCLUSION: Basic fibroblast growth factor plays an active role in proliferative activity of cholesteatoma through its overexpression in basal and parabasal layers of cholesteatoma matrix. Moreover, its expression in the mast cell membrane supports its role in bone resorption activity.
