Abstract

Mast cell disorders range from benign proliferations to systemic diseases that cause anaphylaxis and other diverse symptoms to mast cell neoplasms with varied clinical outcomes. Mastocytosis is the pathologic process of the accumulation of abnormal mast cells in different organs, mostly driven by KIT mutations, and can present as cutaneous mastocytosis, systemic mastocytosis (SM), and mast cell sarcoma. The WHO 5th edition classification divides systemic mastocytosis into bone marrow mastocytosis, indolent systemic mastocytosis, smoldering systemic mastocytosis, aggressive systemic mastocytosis, systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematologic neoplasm, and mast cell leukemia. The new ICC classifies SM slightly differently. The diagnosis of SM requires the integration of bone marrow morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular findings, as well as clinical signs and symptoms. Moreover, understanding the wide range of clinical presentations for patients with mast cell disorders is necessary for accurate and timely diagnosis. This review provides an updated overview of mast cell disorders, with a special emphasis on SM, including the latest approaches to diagnosis, prognostic stratification, and management of this rare disease.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Severe episodes were twice more frequent in individuals with both SM and HαT than in those with SM but without HαT.

    “severe episodes were twice more frequent in individuals with both SM and HαT than in those with SM but without HαT (17, 18).”

    From Defining “Normal” basal serum tryptase levels: a context-dependent approach to improve diagnostics in systemic mastocytosis (2025) · cites this paper as [18]

    Section 2.2 (page not available) says concurrent HαT predisposes patients with mastocytosis to severe mediator-related symptoms. It does not report that severe episodes are twice as frequent in patients with both SM and HαT as in patients with SM alone. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
