A comparative histochemical study of the lectins was made in the normal nasal mucosa of 6 patients admitted for abdominal disease and in the nasal mucosa of 6 patients with nasal polyposis. The results showed a similar reactivity to lectins by the cells of seromucosal glands of the lamina propria in both normal nasal mucosa and the mucosa of nasal polyps.
