Abstract
The macroscopic staining method was used to display and measure the epithelium of the human subglottic space. Small islands of squamous metaplasia were found in .apprx. 40% of the non-smoking, non-bronchitic urban population. There was no age or sex difference, although a highly significant decrease in size of the subglottic space was found in women throughout life. [The progression of squamous metaplasia to squamous carcinoma is mentioned.].This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
