a A photomicrograph of a section in the control myometrium showing c-kit positive spindle shape telocytes (arrow) among smooth muscle cells. Original magnification ×1000. b Another section of the control myometrium showing c-kit-positive mast cell (arrow). It is well demarcated by its large rounded nucleus and voluminous cytoplasm. Original magnification ×1000. c A photomicrograph of a section in the myometrium adjacent to uterine leiomyoma showing many c-kit positive telocytes with their long extending telopodes extending from the cell body (arrow). Notice their intimate relation to blood vessels. Original magnification ×1000. d A photomicrograph of a section in the uterine leiomyoma showing c-kit positive telocyte parallel to smooth muscle cells (arrow). Original magnification ×1000. e Another section in the uterine leiomyoma showing C-kit-positive mast cell with voluminous granular cytoplasm (black arrow). Original magnification ×1000
