Classification of Disorders Associated with Mast Cells.

  • 1. 
    MASTOCYTOSIS
    • a. 
      Cutaneous Mastocytosis *
      1. Diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis
      2. Maculopapular mastocytosis (Urticaria Pigmentosa)
      3. Cutaneous mastocytoma
    • b. 
      Systemic Mastocytosis *
      1. Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) [includes bone marrow mastocytosis]
      2. Smoldering systemic mastocytosis (SSM)
    • c. 
      Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis *
      1. Aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM)
      2. Mastocytosis with associated hematological neoplasia (SM-AHN)
      3. Mast cell leukemia (including aleukemic leukemia)
    • d. 
      Nonclonal disorders: Mast cell sarcoma
  • 2. 
    MAST CELL ACTIVATION SYNDROME (MCAS)
    • a. 
      Primary Mast cell Activating Syndrome/Monoclonal Mast Cell Activating Syndrome (MMAS)/Clonal Mast Cell Activating Syndrome (CMCAS) *
    • b. 
      Secondary Mast Cell Activating Syndrome (IgE-mediated allergy, autoim-munity, chronic infection, nematode infestation, underlying neoplasia)
    • c. 
      Idiopathic Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (no obvious etiology)
    • d. 
      Combined primary disorder with allergy-triggered mast cell activation
  • 3. 
    IDIOPATHIC ANAPHYLAXIS (IA)
    1. No obvious allergens (cryptic allergens and mammalian meat allergy to be excluded)
    2. Idiopathic anaphylaxis associated with bone marrow mastocytosis and clon-ality *
    3. IA associated with CMCAS and/or hereditary alpha-tryptasemia *
  • 4. 
    REACTIONS TO HYMENOPTERA VENOM AND CLONAL MAST CELL DIS-EASE
    1. Associated with bone marrow mastocytosis and clonality *
    2. Associated with MCAS and/or clonality *
  • 5. 

    BONE MARROW MASTOCYTOSIS

  • 6. 
    HEREDITARY ALPHA TRYPTASEMIA
    1. Isolated condition
    2. Associated with CMCAS, SM and variants and IA
  • 7. 

    COMBINED DISORDERS (Various combination of above conditions)

* = Associated with clonality (D816V mutation, other mutations or associated with aberrant mast cell expression of CD2 or CD25 on cell surface).
