Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Mast cell tumor is a rare disease characterized by abnormal growth and accumulation of mast cells in various organs.[1] It is considered to be an "orphan disease" affecting 200,000 or fewer people in the United States.
Incidence
- There are no definite data regarding the exact incidence and prevalence of mast cell tumor among the US general population.[2]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop mast cell tumor.
- Cutaneous mastocytosis is more common in children and the disease manifest itself in the first year of life in over 80% of cases.[3]
- Second smaller peak of incidence is observed in adults in the third to fourth decade.[3]
Gender
There is no sex predilection to the mast cell tumor.
Race
There is no racial predilection to the mast cell tumor.
