Article Synopsis
  • Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a rare disease affecting about 32,000 people in the U.S., often misdiagnosed due to vague symptoms and the necessity for invasive tests.
  • A study of 116 patients revealed that the majority had indolent SM, with a significant average delay of 58.3 months for diagnosis, and some patients progressed to more advanced forms.
  • The findings emphasize the need for better awareness and understanding of SM to improve diagnosis and treatment, suggesting that further studies are necessary to establish effective follow-up care for patients.
