[New views on systemic mastocytosis].

Systemic mastocytosis is an uncommon disease characterised by an abnormal increase of mast cell count. The observed symptoms result from bone marrow, gastrointestinal, hepatic, splenic and skin infiltration by mast cells and from release of mast cell active mediators. The aim of our study was to discuss the classification, clinical features and treatment opportunities of systemic mastocytosis, based on review of current literature.
