Background Mastocytosis is a rare disease affecting both children and adults. It is characterized by accumulation of mast-cells in the skin and/or other tissues so that two main variants are distinguished: cutaneous (CM) and systemic (SM) mastocytosis. Most pediatric patients have primarily CM and complete remission will develop in a considerable number of patients during puberty. Less frequent...
Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous disease characterized by the accumulation of mast cells in one or more organs. Our objective was to identify a peripheral mast cell precursor and assess its variation rate in mastocytosis. A peripheral blood phenotypic analysis was performed among 50 patients with mastocytosis who were enrolled in a prospective multicentric French study, and the phenotypic analys...
Tryptase, a protease produced by all mast cells, was evaluated as a clinical marker of systemic mastocytosis. Two sandwich immunoassays were evaluated, one which used the mAb G5 for capture, the other which used B12 for capture. The B12 capture assay measured both recombinant alpha- and beta-tryptase, whereas the G5 capture assay measured primarily recombinant beta-tryptase. G5 binds with low a...
In the article on the isolated bone marrow mastocytosis (IBMM) as an underestimated subvariant of indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM), Zanotti et al. reported that 54.7% of patients with unexplained/recurrent anaphylaxis or severe allergic reactions were found to be suffering from IBMM. They conclude that the incidence of IBMM can be frequently underestimated, especially in the face of a lack ...
Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by clonal proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in one of more organs which may lead to different clinical pictures. Pathological increase and activation of mast cells in various tissues can cause different clinical pictures. Cutaneous mastocytosis limited to the skin is the most typical clinical picture observed in children and syst...
Patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM) can suffer from disabling symptoms related to mast cell mediator release or mast cell infiltration, requiring mast cell eradication. In the present absence of any curative therapy, a recent case report describing the efficacy of cladribine showed promising results. In a pilot study, the efficacy of cladribine (0.10-0.13 mg/kg in a 2-hour infusion, days 1...
Assessment of liver stiffness (LS) by transient elastography (Fibroscan) has significantly improved the noninvasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis. We here report on a 55-year-old patient with drastically increased LS due to previously unknown systemic mastocytosis. The patient initially presented with increased weight loss, nocturnal pruritus, increased transaminases, bilirubinemia, and thrombocy...
Mast cells are derived from multipotential hematopoietic progenitors and are clonally increased in systemic mastocytosis, a disease associated with point mutations of codon 816 (most commonly Asp816Val) of c-kit. To study the lineage relationship and the extent of expansion of cells derived from the mutated clone, we examined the occurrence of the Asp816Val c-kit mutation in genomic DNA of indi...
Indolent systemic mastocytosis (SM) patients have a varied clinical presentation, ranging from predominantly cutaneous symptoms to recurrent systemic symptoms (eg, flushing, palpitations, dyspepsia, diarrhea, bone pain) that can be severe and potentially life threatening (anaphylaxis). Mastocytosis patients without skin involvement pose a diagnostic challenge; a high index of suspicion is neede...
