Association of chemokines and prolactin with cherry angioma in a sulfur mustard exposed population - Sardasht-Iran cohort study

► There was significant difference in the level of prolactin within the exposed subgroups with and without cherry angioma. ► Serum level of CCL2 in SM-exposed with cherry angioma was significantly lower than SM-exposed without cherry angioma. ► These findings serve as a basis for molecular mechanisms and pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cherry angioma.
