About Mast cell leukemia.

Mast cell leukemia is an extremely rare, highly aggressive hematologic malignancy classified as a leukemic variant of systemic mastocytosis.

It primarily affects the hematopoietic system, liver, spleen, peritoneum, and gastrointestinal tract, typically manifesting in adults either de novo or via secondary progression from pre-existing advanced systemic mastocytosis.

Pathophysiologically, it is defined by the fulfillment of systemic mastocytosis criteria alongside bone marrow aspirates showing at least 20% atypical, immature mast cells, frequently accompanied by multi-organ damage, cytopenias, and poor survival outcomes.

Cases are further stratified into classic (leukemic) forms, where mast cells constitute 10% or more of circulating peripheral white blood cells, and aleukemic variants with less than 10% circulating involvement.
