Mastocytosis is the abundance of mast cells. It can be due to a number of causes.
General
- Abundance of mast cells.
Classification:[1]
- Cutaneous (only) - usually children.
- Urticaria pigmentosa.
- Others.
- Systemic - usually adults.
- Indolent subvariant.
- Aggressive subvariant.
- Leukemic subvariant.
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Cells in the superficial/mid dermis that are:
- Lymphocyte-like with more cytoplasm that is granular.
- Cells may have spindled or stellate morphology.
- Tend to be more abundant around vessels.
- Lymphocyte-like with more cytoplasm that is granular.
- +/-Eosinophils (common).
- +/-Edema - often prominent; gives cells a white halo.
Notes:
- Lymphocyte versus mast cell:
- Lymphocytes = round; mast cells = ovoid.
DDx:
- Intradermal nevus.
- Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis and other pleomorphic tumours - for aggressive systemic mastocytosis.

Mastocytosis - intermed. mag. (WC)
Mastocytosis - high mag. (WC)
Mastocytosis - very high mag. (WC)

Stains
- Toluidine blue -- highlights the granules.
- Giemsa stain +ve
IHC
- CD117 +ve.
- Tryptase +ve.[3]
