Overview
Mast cell leukemia was first described in 1906 by G. Joachim.[1] Mast cell leukemia may be classified into two categories based on prognosis.[1] Based on the duration of symptoms, mast cell leukemia may be classified into either acute or chronic.[2] Genes involved in the pathogenesis of mast cell leukemia include KIT D816V, and non-KIT D816V.[1][3][4] On microscopic histopathological analysis, multifocal sheets, and clusters of mast cells in bone marrow sections are findings of mast cell leukemia.[5]
