Mastocytosis
Mastocytosis is a disease characterized by the presence of excessive numbers of mast cells in the skin and internal organs, such as the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, lymph nodes, liver and spleen • Demographics
– Children and adults – M/F equal
• Symptoms
– Excess of mast cells – Mast cell derived mediators
• Histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, cytokines
– Hematologic disorders
WHO classification of mastocytosis-Adult
• Cutaneous mastocytosis
• Maculopapular CM • Diffuse CM • Mastocytoma
• Systemic indolent mastocytosis (without AHD)
• Smoldering systemic mastocytosis • Isolated bone marrow mastocytosis
• Systemic mastocytosis with an AHNMD
• MDS, MPD, AML, NHL
• Systemic aggressive mastocytosis
• with eosinophilia
• Mast cell leukemia
• Aleukemic MCL
• Mast cell sarcoma • Extracutaneous mastocytoma
WHO classification of mastocytosis-Adult
1 major + 1 minor or 3 minor Major:
Characteristic multifocal dense infiltrates of mast cells in bone marrow biopsy (>15 in aggregate)
Minor:
-Morphology of mast cells: Spindle shaped (>25%) -Detection of a codon 816 c-kit mutation -Flow cytometric co-expression of CD117, CD2 and/or CD25 by the bone marrow mast cell population -Total serum tryptase >20 ng/ml
Pediatric-Onset Mastocytosis
• Mastocytosis is an unusual disease • Mastocytosis most commonly present before 6 months of age • ~50-60% of cases of mastocytosis are diagnosed in childhood • In children, the skin is the most common organ involved. • Children typically presents with one of three cutaneous disease patterns
Aim
• Define the characteristics of severe pediatric-onset mastocytosis whose diagnostic parameters may be discordant from classic adult-onset disease criteria.
Study Design
Children, birth-21 years Cutaneous mastocytosis and/or tryptase >20, organomegaly, abnormal hematologic findings
CBC with diff, tryptase, PT/PTT LFTs, IgE, sed rate, Bone marrow bx & aspirate c-kit mutational analysis
Determine the disease variant using WHO criteria

Conclusion
• 18 children with some characteristics of systemic disease were evaluated • Analysis of the data revealed the adult classification criteria was correct in 17/18 • 2001 consensus data is appropriate for the classification of children with mastocytosis
Recommendations
• Children should be evaluated for mastocytosis using the following parameters:
1. Skin exam: skin biopsy for definitive diagnosis 2. Complete physical exam 3. Serum tryptase, CBC and differential, platelets
•
Bone marrow considered for:
1. Serum tryptase >20 ng/ml and
– Organomegaly or abnormal hematologic findings
