Abstract: Mast cell is an important immune cell which divided into two sub groups as connective tissue mast cell and mucosal mast cell. One of the important characteristics of mast cell is her heterogeneity that has differences in their morphologies， distributions， chemical composition of cytoplasmic granules， ultrastructures and functions across species or even in different tissues of one individual. In recent years， more research and progress in the heterogeneity of mast cells have been acheived， but the mechanisms for mast cell heterogeneity still remains speculative. In the present review， the heterogeneities of mast cells were summarized in the respects of cell subtype， morphology， distribution， staining characteristics， immunohistochemistry， and ultrastructure.
