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] There are no characteristic findings of mast cell leukemia on gross pathology.[5] On microscopic histopathological analysis, multifocal sheets, and clusters of mast cells in bone marrow sections are findings of mast cell leukemia.[6] Common causes of mast cell leukemia include genetic mutations. Common genetic mutations involved in the development of mast cell leukemia can be found here.[3][1][4]
Historical Perspective
Mast cell leukemia was first described in 1906 by G. Joachim.[1]
Classification
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]
Pathophysiology
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of mast cell leukemia include KIT D816V, and non-KIT D816V.[1][3][4] There are no characteristic findings of mast cell leukemia on gross pathology.[5] On microscopic histopathological analysis, multifocal sheets, and clusters of mast cells in bone marrow sections are findings of mast cell leukemia.[6]
Causes
Common causes of mast cell leukemia include genetic mutations. Common genetic mutations involved in the development of mast cell leukemia can be found here.[3][1][4]
