Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Systemic mastocytosis (SM) presents with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • SM can be associated with myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic disorders.
  • Patients without skin involvement often have a poor prognosis.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old male patient experienced episodes of flushing and dyspnea.
  • The patient was diagnosed with myelofibrosis.
  • Elevated serum and urine histamine levels were detected.

Findings:

  • The case illustrates a rare presentation of systemic mastocytosis.
  • The co-occurrence of myelofibrosis and high histamine levels in an elderly patient.
  • Absence of skin manifestations despite systemic disease.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering systemic mastocytosis in elderly patients with unexplained myelofibrosis and flushing.
  • Highlights the diagnostic challenge of systemic mastocytosis without cutaneous signs.
  • Emphasizes the need for thorough histamine level assessment in suspected cases.
