Historical Perspective
Discovery
- In 1869, Dr. Nettleship and Tay were the first ever to discuss the mast cell activation and it was in a case of urticaria pigmentosa.[1]
- In 1936, Dr. Sézary and other french scientists reported the first case of systemic mastocytosis or mast cell tumor.
- Dr. Sezary describes the systemic mastocytosis as aberrant mast cell proliferation which is characterized by release of immense vasoactive amines.[2]
