Abstract
Mastocytosis is a hematologic neoplasm characterized by expansion and focal accumulation of neoplastic mast cells (MC) in diverse organs, including the skin, bone marrow (BM), spleen, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. The World Health Organization classification divides the disease into prognostically distinct variants of cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) and systemic mastocytosis (SM). Although this classification remains valid, recent developments in the field and the advent of new diagnostic and prognostic parameters created a need to update and refine definitions and diagnostic criteria in MC neoplasms. In addition, MC activation syndromes (MCAS) and genetic features predisposing to SM and MCAS have been identified. To discuss these developments and refinements in the classification, we organized a Working Conference comprised of experts from Europe and the United States in August 2020. This article reports on outcomes from this conference. Of particular note, we propose adjustments in the classification of CM and SM, refinements in diagnostic criteria of SM variants, including smoldering SM and BM mastocytosis (BMM), and updated criteria for MCAS and other conditions involving MC. CD30 expression in MC now qualifies as a minor SM criterion, and BMM is now defined by SM criteria, absence of skin lesions and absence of B- and C-findings. A basal serum tryptase level exceeding 20 ng/mL remains a minor SM criterion, with recognition that hereditary alpha-tryptasemia and various myeloid neoplasms may also cause elevations in tryptase. Our updated proposal will support diagnostic evaluations and prognostication in daily practice and the conduct of clinical trials in MC disorders.

Abstract
Mastocytosis refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders resulting from the clonal proliferation of abnormal mast cells and their accumulation in the skin (cutaneous mastocytosis when only in the skin, CM) or in various organs (systemic mastocytosis, SM). This leads to a wide variety of clinical manifestations resulting from excessive mediator release in CM and benign forms of SM (indolent SM, ISM) and from tissue mast cell infiltration causing multiorgan dysfunction and failure in more aggressive subtypes (aggressive SM, ASM, or mast cell leukemia). In addition, SM may be associated with hematological neoplasms (AHN). While treatment of ISM primarily aims at symptom management with anti-mediator therapies, cytoreductive and targeted therapies are needed to control the expansion of neoplastic mast cells in advanced forms of SM, in order to improve overall survival. Mast cell accumulation results from a gain-of-function mutation (mostly the D816V mutation) within the KIT tyrosine kinase domain expressed by mast cells and additional genetic and epigenetic mutations may further determine the features of the disease (ASM and AHN). Consequently, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and targeted therapies directed against the oncogenic signaling machinery downstream of KIT are attractive therapeutic approaches. A better understanding of the relative contribution of these genetic and epigenetic events to the molecular pathogenesis of mastocytosis is of particular interest for the development of targeted therapies and therefore to better choose patient subgroups that would best benefit from a given therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Mastocytosis is a rare condition characterized by abnormal mast cell proliferation and a broad spectrum of manifestations, including various organs and tissues. Osteoporosis is one of the most frequent manifestations of systemic mastocytosis, particularly in adults. Osteoporosis secondary to systemic mastocytosis is a cause of unexplained low bone mineral density that should be investigated when accompanied by suspicious clinical elements. Bone involvement is often complicated by a high recurrence of fragility fractures, mainly vertebral, leading to severe disability. The mechanism of bone loss is the result of different pathways, not yet fully discovered. The main actor is the osteoclast with a relative or absolute predominance of bone resorption. Among the stimuli that drive osteoclast activity, the most important one seems to be the RANK-RANKL signaling, but also histamine and other cytokines play a significant role in the process. The central role of osteoclasts made bisphosphonates, as anti-resorptive drugs, the most rational treatment for bone involvement in systemic mastocytosis. There are a few small studies supporting this approach, with large heterogeneity of drug and administration scheme. Currently, zoledronate has the best evidence in terms of gain in bone mineral density and bone turnover suppression, two surrogate markers of anti-fracture efficacy.

Abstract
Mastocytosis is a complex disorder characterized by the accumulation of abnormal mast cells (MC) in the skin, bone marrow and/or other visceral organs. The clinical manifestations result from MC-derived mediators and, less frequently, from destructive infiltration of MCs. Patients suffer from a variety of symptoms including pruritus, flushing and life-threatening anaphylaxis. Whilst mastocytosis is likely to be suspected in a patient with typical skin lesions [i.e. urticaria pigmentosa (UP)], the absence of cutaneous signs does not rule out the diagnosis of this disease. Mastocytosis should be suspected in cases of recurrent, unexplained or severe insect-induced anaphylaxis or symptoms of MC degranulation without true allergy. In rare cases, unexplained osteoporosis or unexplained haematological abnormalities can be underlying feature of mastocytosis, particularly when these conditions are associated with elevated baseline serum tryptase levels. The diagnosis is based on the World Health Organization criteria, in which the tryptase level, histopathological and immunophenotypic evaluation of MCs and molecular analysis are crucial. A somatic KIT mutation, the most common of which is D816V, is usually detectable in MCs and their progenitors. Once a diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis (SM) is made, it is mandatory to assess the burden of the disease, its activity, subtype and prognosis, and the appropriate therapy. Mastocytosis comprises seven different categories that range from indolent forms, such as cutaneous and indolent SM, to progressive forms, such as aggressive SM and MC leukaemia. Although prognosis is good in patients with indolent forms of the disease, patients with advanced categories have a poor prognosis.

Abstract
Patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM) have a wide variety of problems, including skeletal abnormalities. The disease results from a mutation of the stem cell receptor (c-kit) in mast cells and we wondered if the function of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs; also known as MSCs or mesenchymal stem cells) might be affected by the invasion of bone marrow by mutant mast cells. As expected, BMSCs from SM patients do not have a mutation in c-kit, but they proliferate poorly. In addition, while osteogenic differentiation of the BMSCs seems to be deficient, their adipogenic potential appears to be increased. Since the hematopoietic supportive abilities of BMSCs are also important, we also studied the engraftment in NSG mice of human CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitors, after being co-cultured with BMSCs of healthy volunteers vs. BMSCs derived from patients with SM. BMSCs derived from the bone marrow of patients with SM could not support hematopoiesis to the extent that healthy BMSCs do. Finally, we performed an expression analysis and found significant differences between healthy and SM derived BMSCs in the expression of genes with a variety of functions, including the WNT signaling, ossification, and bone remodeling. We suggest that some of the symptoms associated with SM might be driven by epigenetic changes in BMSCs caused by dysfunctional mast cells in the bone marrow of the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the significance of bright CD45 expression on mast cells in cases of systemic mastocytosis vs mast cells in bone marrows uninvolved by systemic mastocytosis and compare this CD45 expression with CD25 and CD2 expression on mast cells. METHODS Multiparameter flow cytometry was performed on 31 cases of systemic mastocytosis and 70 bone marrow cases that were not involved by systemic mastocytosis. Bright expression of CD45 was defined as more than 20% of CD117+ mast cells showing brighter CD45 expression than the average expression level of lymphocytes. RESULTS Mast cells with bright CD45 expression were seen in 26 systemic mastocytosis cases and three bone marrows uninvolved by systemic mastocytosis (sensitivity, 84%; specificity, 96%). CD25 alone had a greater sensitivity (100%) but lower specificity (93%) compared with bright CD45 for identifying abnormal mast cells, while CD2 alone had lower sensitivity but higher specificity. To reach a specificity of 100%, CD25 together with bright CD45 on mast cells was the optimal combination to detect cases of systemic mastocytosis. CONCLUSIONS A combination of bright CD45 and CD25 appears to specifically identify abnormal mast cells in cases of systemic mastocytosis. Further studies will be necessary to confirm these results.

Abstract
Mastocytosis is a term referring to a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by abnormal mast cell (MC) accumulation in the skin and/or internal organs. In children, the disease involves mostly the skin (cutaneous mastocytosis; CM), whereas in adults, the disease is usually systemic (systemic mastocytosis; SM). Advanced SM variants with end-organ damage and reduced life expectancy have also been described, but are rare. Clinical signs and symptoms in SM result from excessive mediator release by MCs and, in aggressive forms, from organ failure related to MC infiltration. As a consequence, treatment of indolent SM aims primarily at the control of symptoms caused by MC mediator release. By contrast, in advanced SM, such as aggressive SM, MC leukemia, and MC sarcoma, intensive (chemo)therapy with or without allogeneic stem cell transplantation has to be considered. In addition, activating mutations in KIT (mostly KIT D816V in adults) are found in most patients with SM, so that targeted therapies aimed at blocking mutant KIT variants or/and downstream signaling pathways are currently being developed. Other targets, such as specific surface antigens expressed on neoplastic MCs, might be considered for the development of future therapies in advanced SM.

Abstract
In systemic mastocytosis (SM), clinical problems arise from factor-independent proliferation of mast cells (MCs) and the increased release of mediators by MCs, but no human cell line model for studying MC activation in the context of SM is available. We have created a stable stem cell factor (SCF) -dependent human MC line, ROSA(KIT WT), expressing a fully functional immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor. Transfection with KIT D816V converted ROSA(KIT WT) cells into an SCF-independent clone, ROSA(KIT D816V), which produced a mastocytosis-like disease in NSG mice. Although several signaling pathways were activated, ROSA(KIT D816V) did not exhibit an increased, but did exhibit a decreased responsiveness to IgE-dependent stimuli. Moreover, NSG mice bearing ROSA(KIT D816V)-derived tumors did not show mediator-related symptoms, and KIT D816V-positive MCs obtained from patients with SM did not show increased IgE-dependent histamine release or CD63 upregulation. Our data show that KIT D816V is a disease-propagating oncoprotein, but it does not activate MCs to release proinflammatory mediators, which may explain why mediator-related symptoms in SM occur preferentially in the context of a coexisting allergy. ROSA(KIT D816V) may provide a valuable tool for studying the pathogenesis of mastocytosis and should facilitate the development of novel drugs for treating SM patients.

Abstract
We report here the interesting case of a 76-year-old man with severe proteinuria who was diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis accompanied by a clonal non-mast-cell lineage haematological disorder (a non-secretory plasma cell dyscrasia). This is a unique report of systemic mastocytosis with a non-secretory plasma cell dyscrasia and nephrotic syndrome. The pathophysiological relevance between these entities along with the probability of occult amyloidosis is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the frequency of systemic mastocytosis (SM) in a large series of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8;21)(q22;q22). METHODS We retrospectively characterized 40 bone marrow aspirate smears and biopsy specimens from patients with AML with t(8;21) for the presence of SM. Cases were assessed for mast cell morphology and immunohistochemistry, as well as KIT exon 8 and 17 mutational assessment by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Four patients met criteria for SM, 1 met criteria for myelomastocytic leukemia, and 8 demonstrated the benign finding of mast cell hyperplasia. CONCLUSIONS We recommend examining all cases of AML with t(8;21) for the presence of SM via morphology, immunophenotyping, and KIT mutational analysis studies.

Abstract
Concurrent manifestation of two chronic-stage myeloid and lymphoid/plasmacytoid neoplasms in one patient is rare and occurs in ≤1% of patients. There has been no systematic analysis of which combinations are frequent/infrequent and whether two concurrent diseases in one patient are clonally related or represent independent diseases. We therefore characterised a series of cases from our own archive (n = 65) and collected a large number of previously reported cases of patients in whom myeloid and lymphoid/plasmacytoid neoplasms co-occurred (n = 185). The most frequent combination was Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm with concurrent B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, accounting for approximately 50% of double-disease patients. We compared the quantity of unsorted bone marrow cell-derived JAK2(V617F) and KIT(D816V) alleles with the quantity of the lymphoid/plasmacytoid compartment and analysed a subfraction of cases with fluorescence in situ hybridisation. Although a common aberrant progenitor has been reported in some cases in the literature, we found evidence of two independent chronic-stage myeloid and lymphoid/plasmacytoid neoplasms.
