Temporal skin biopsies were performed in six cluster headache patients and controls. In biopsies, mast cells were examined by light and electron microscopy for possible deviations in number, distribution and morphology. Three patients were in a headache phase, the other three in a headache‐free interval. No differences between controls and patients could be observed. The results are discussed.
