Overview

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of mast cell leukemia include KIT D816V and non-KIT D816V.[1][2][3] There are no characteristic findings of mast cell leukemia on gross pathology.[4] On microscopic histopathological analysis, multifocal sheets and clusters of mast cells in bone marrow sections are findings of mast cell leukemia.[5]

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

  • Mutation of KIT is a hallmark of the mast cell leukemia.
  • Adult-type human mastocytosis is characterized by mutations in c-KIT at codon 816, which cause constitutive activation of KIT kinase.
  • Different classes of activating KIT mutations respond differentially to KIT inhibitors depending on the site and type of mutation.
  • D816V c-KIT mutation is the most frequent mutation, found in more than 80% of adult patients with systemic mastocytosis especially in the aggressive forms with a frequency of more than 95% in mast cell leukemia patients.[1]
  • Mutations in SRSF2, ASXL1 or RUNX1 are

Genetics

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of mast cell leukemia include:[1][2][3]

  • KIT D816V
  • non-KIT D816V

Associated conditions

Mast cell leukemia may be associated with systemic mastocytosis.[2]

Gross Pathology

There are no characteristic findings of mast cell leukemia on gross pathology. Gross specimens are not seen typically.[4]

Microscopic Pathology

On microscopic histopathological analysis, findings of mast cell leukemia include:[5]

  • Multifocal sheets of mast cells
  • Clusters of mast cells

Gallery

  • Peripheral blood showing mast cell leukemia.[6]

    Peripheral blood showing mast cell leukemia.[6]

Immunohistochemistry

  • Atypical mast cells express multiple surface antigens such as:[1]
