'''Mastocytosis''' is the abundance of [[mast cells]].
 
==General==
*Abundance of [[mast cell]]s.

#Cutaneous (only) - usually children.
#*Urticaria pigmentosa.
#*Others.
#Systemic - usually adults.
#*Indolent subvariant.
#*Aggressive subvariant.
#*Leukemic subvariant.

*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.
*+/-Eosinophils (common).
*+/-Edema - often prominent; gives cells a white halo.
 
Notes:
*Lymphocyte vs. mast cell:
**Lymphocytes = round; mast cells = ovoid.
