Refined diagnostic criteria and classification of mast cell leukemia (MCL) and myelomastocytic leukemia (MML): a consensus proposal.
Mast cell leukemia (MCL), the leukemic manifestation of systemic mastocytosis (SM), is characterized by leukemic expansion of immature mast cells (MCs) in the bone marrow (BM) and other internal organs; and a poor prognosis. In a subset of patients, circulating MCs are detectable. A major differential diagnosis to MCL is myelomastocytic leukemia (MML). Although criteria for both MCL and MML hav...
متن کاملMast Cell Leukemia with Ascites and Multiple Organs Damage
Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL), a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis is defined by bone marrow involvement as atypical and aleukemic mast cells, if more than 20% and less than 10% of peripheral WBCs are mast cells, respectively. We met a case of aleukemic MCL presenting with anemia and ascites for 2 years, referred for BM evaluation, suspicious of leukemia. Our findings included BM involveme...
متن کاملDefinitions, Criteria and Global Classification of Mast Cell Disorders with Special Reference to Mast Cell Activation Syndromes: A Consensus Proposal
Activation of tissue mast cells (MCs) and their abnormal growth and accumulation in various organs are typically found in primary MC disorders also referred to as mastocytosis. However, increasing numbers of patients are now being informed that their clinical findings are due to MC activation (MCA) that is neither associated with mastocytosis nor with a defined allergic or inflammatory reaction...

متن کاملThe First Case of Therapy-Related Myelomastocytic Leukemia Based on the WHO 2008 Classification and the Recently Proposed Diagnostic Criteria
Dear Editor, AML is occasionally associated with bone marrow (BM) mastocytosis. Differential diagnoses include reactive mast cell (MC) hyperplasia, systemic mastocytosis (SM) with associated clonal hematological non-MC lineage disease, and MC leukemia (MCL) [1]. Myelomastocytic leukemia (MML) is a new classification for AML patients who show an increase in immature and atypical MCs, but who do ...
