Aggressive systemic mastocytosis mimicking sclerosing cholangitis.
A 43 year-old woman presented with fever, abdominal pain, epato-splenomegaly, ascites, cholestasis, anemia, thrombocytopenia and previous diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis based on liver biopsy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP). The bone marrow biopsy and the revision of liver biopsy using antitryptase stain diagnosed systemic mastocytosis. Because of the aggressive cou...
متن کاملAn unusual case of aggressive systemic mastocytosis mimicking hepatic cirrhosis
Hepatic involvement in aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM) is relatively common, and the main clinical features of this disease include hepatomegaly, portal hypertension, ascites, and fibrosis. Cirrhosis is a rare ASM symptom. We report an ASM case that initially mimicked cirrhosis based on clinical and radiographic analyses.

متن کاملSystemic mastocytosis--a systematic review.
INTRODUCTION The mast cell lives a hidden life, but it is implicated in several physiological reactions. Its ability to react to different stimuli impacts a variety of conditions such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria and anaphylaxis. It is not until recent decades that the evolution of the cell has been described and its fascinating biology has only recently been depicted. We here give a...
