Description

Basophils and mast cells contain granules that stain dark blue to black with Wright-Giemsa. The basophil nucleus is segmented and the chromatin is condensed or smudged. Mast cells are usually larger than basophils with a low nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and a round or oval nucleus usually obscured by abundant red-purple granules. These granules in mast cells are smaller and more round and regular than basophilic granules and release histamine upon stimulation. Basophils and mast cells are derived from separate progenitor cells.

Basophils and mast cells are not normally found in body fluids, but when present, are most commonly associated with inflammatory conditions, foreign body reactions, and parasitic infestations. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
