Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Disorders
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The excess release of mediators can cause clinical features such as pruritus, flushing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, vascular instability and anaphylaxis. Also, complications may arise when mast cells accumulate in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. [2] The clinical features of systemic mastocytosis are caused by accumulation of clonally derived mast cells in different tissues, including bone marrow, skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver and spleen. Systemic mastocytosis is now classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm. [3]

Mast 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...

BACKGROUND Mast cell diseases include mastocytosis and mast cell activation syndromes, some of which have been shown to involve clonal defects in mast cells that result in abnormal cellular proliferation or activation. Numerous clinical studies of mastocytosis have been published, but no population-based comprehensive surveys of patients in the United States have been identified. Few mast cell ...

متن کاملUpdate on Mastocytosis (Part 2): Categories, Prognosis, and Treatment.
Mastocytosis is a term used to describe a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by clonal proliferation of mast cells in different organs. The organ most often affected is the skin. The World Health Organization classifies cutaneous mastocytosis into mastocytoma, maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis, and diffuse mastocytosis. The systemic variants in this classification are as follows:...

Mastocytosis most frequently manifests in the skin, so most often is diagnosed by dermatologists at first. Low threshold in clinical suspicion helps early detection of these cases. Cutaneous mastocytosis is an increase of cutaneous mast cells without known underlying disease or inflammatory infiltrate. A skin biopsy with staining specific for mast cells (toluidine blue, Wright-Giemsa) and trypt...
متن کاملMast Cell Clonal Disorders: Classification, Diagnosis and Management
Mast cell clonal disorders are characterized by the clonal proliferation of pathological mast cells as a result of somatic mutations in the KIT gene, most commonly the D816V mutation. Accumulation and degranulation of these cells causes a wide variety of symptoms. Mast cell clonal disorders can be divided into mastocytosis and monoclonal mast cell activation syndrome, depending of the level of ...
