Abstract:
Mastocytosis comprises a spectrum of disorders characterized by abnormal growth of mast cells (MS). Four entities are recognizable according to WHO classification. Association of systemic mastocytosis (SM) with a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia (SM-AHNMD) is the second frequently category. Published descriptions of the clinicopathologic features of SM-AHNMD are largely limited to individual case reports. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman with thrombocytosis and mild splenomegaly. Clinical suspicion was of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia (CMN). Bone marrow trephine biopsy examination (histology and immunohistochemistry for CD117 and CD25) revealed a SM associated with CMN, essential thrombocythemia (ET) type. The JAK2 V617F (for CMN) was detected but KIT/Asp816Val (reported in ~80% of SM) was absent. We discussed the particularity of the cases correlated with a review of the literature.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
