Article Abstract

Mastocytosis is a neoplasm characterized by a clonal proliferation of mast cells, which accumulate in one or multiple organs, associated with an extremely heterogeneous clinical presentation. The disease can be limited to the skin (cutaneous mastocytosis) that is mostly seen in childhood and usually behaves in a benign fashion. Adult patients most often present with systemic disease with or without skin lesions. This includes indolent forms such as indolent systemic mastocytosis and its subvariant bone marrow mastocytosis, and smoldering systemic mastocytosis as well as aggressive forms including aggressive systemic mastocytosis, systemic mastocytosis with an associated myeloid neoplasm (previously called systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematologic neoplasm), and mast cell leukemia. In addition, mast cell sarcoma is a rare aggressive form of mastocytosis that can present in the skin as well as at extracutaneous sites. This review article focuses on the updates in mastocytosis of the 2022 international consensus classification (ICC).
