Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Mast cells play a role in various physiological reactions and conditions like asthma and anaphylaxis.
  • Recent decades have seen advancements in understanding mast cell evolution and biology.
  • This review focuses on systemic mastocytosis, covering cell biology, diagnostics, and clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of systemic mastocytosis.
  • To discuss the cell biology, diagnostic approaches, and clinical practice related to mastocytosis.
  • To highlight the heterogeneity of the disease and challenges in management.

Main Methods:

  • A PubMed search was conducted in August 2011.
  • Keywords included: mastocytosis, systemic, cutaneous, aggressive, mast cell leukaemia, mast cell sarcoma, chromosome, mutation, haematology, and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Mastocytosis is defined by abnormal mast cell proliferation and accumulation in organs like skin and bone marrow.
  • The disease presents heterogeneously, ranging from benign cutaneous forms to aggressive systemic forms.
  • While childhood cutaneous mastocytosis often resolves, adult mastocytosis is typically systemic and persistent.

Conclusions:

  • Patients with mastocytosis exhibit diverse clinical presentations, prognoses, and management needs.
  • Achieving uniform management is challenging due to varied entry points into healthcare services.
  • The European Competence Network on Mastocytosis was established to improve diagnostics and management, recommending hematological and dermatological/allergological consultation.
