# Well-differentiated systemic mastocytosis (WDSM) represents a morphologic variant that may occur in any SM type/subtype, including mast cell leukemia [49,50]. * In case of ≥ 4 lesions, a diagnosis of MPCM is favored over mastocytoma by 2022 ICC [33]. ** The 5th WHO recognizes BMM as an independent SM subcategory, while the 2022 ICC considers BMM a variant of indolent SM (ISM).
