Expert Opin Emerg Drugs 2023; 28:153-165. [PMID: 37256917 DOI: 10.1080/14728214.2023.2221028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a complex and heterogeneous disease, characterized by the clonal accumulation of mast cells in one or more organs. In 2022 both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Consensus Classification (ICC) modified the diagnostic and classification criteria of SM. Moreover, the identification of new clinical and molecular variables has improved prognostic tools and led to increasingly individualized therapeutic strategies. AREAS COVERED The aim of this review is to present the updates introduced by the International Consensus Classification in diagnostic criteria of SM. In addition, we report the latest data available from the most important clinical trials in patients both with non-advanced and advanced disease, including elenestinib and bezuclastinib. EXPERT OPINION Diagnosis and classification of SM has evolved over years. The most recent WHO and ICC classification improved SM diagnostic work-up, providing clinicians with a clear and simplified diagnostic scheme. New approved targeted therapies such as midostaurin and avapritinib modified the treatment paradigm in patients in advanced stage, and next-generation inhibitors actually investigated in clinical trials are expected in the next future.

Abstract
Experts of the European Competence Network on Mastocytosis (ECNM) and the American Initiative on Mast Cell Disorders have discussed and updated diagnostic criteria and the classification of mastocytosis, based on new insights in the field and data collected in recent years, mostly within ECNM registry projects in which studies on several thousand cases have been performed. Based on this proposal, the World Health Organization has updated its classification of mastocytosis. This article discusses the revised classification of mastocytosis in light of a rapidly moving field and the advent of new diagnostic parameters, new prognostication tools, and new therapies.

Abstract
Introduction Systemic mastocytosis is a rare disease resulting from infiltration of atypical mast cells in multiple organ systems and present with variety of symptoms. Primary appendiceal and cecal mass with isolated abdominal pain as a presenting feature in systemic mastocytosis have not been reported in literature up to now. Case report We described a 69- years-old female with systemic mastocytosis who presented with chronic abdominal pain and recent progression. On imaging of the abdomen and pelvis showed a mass in cecum. The patient underwent surgery and histopathologic evaluation of cecal and appendiceal masses revealed uniform small round cell tumor with eosinophilic cytoplasm admixed with many eosinophils distorting normal colonic mucosal architecture. The neoplastic cells showed positive expression of CD117 and Mast cell tryptase. According to all these considerations systemic mastocytosis was confirmed as the diagnosis. Conclusion Isolated abdominal pain and primary large intestinal mass are uncommon features of systemic mastocytosis. This case report informed physicians and pathologists to consider it as one of differential diagnosis. Mastocytosis is an uncommon neoplastic infiltration of mast cells in one or multiple organs. Isolated abdominal pain and primary large intestinal mass are uncommon features of systemic mastocytosis. Mastocytosis reveal common surprising clinical signs that to conclude lead to inadequate treatment. mastocytosis.

Abstract
Evidence in the recent literature suggests that the presentation spectrum of mast cell neoplasms is broad. In this article, we elaborate on recent data pertaining to minor diagnostic criteria of systemic mastocytosis (SM), including sensitive testing methods for detection of activating mutations in the KIT gene or its variants, and adjusted serum tryptase levels in cases with hereditary α-tryptasemia. We also summarize entities that require differential diagnosis, such as the recently reclassified SM subtype named bone marrow mastocytosis, mast cell leukemia (an SM subtype that can be acute or chronic); the rare morphological variant of all SM subtypes known as well-differentiated systemic mastocytosis; the extremely rare myelomastocytic leukemia and its differentiating features from mast cell leukemia; and mast cell activation syndrome. In addition, we provide a concise clinical update of the latest adjusted risk stratification model incorporating genomic data to define prognosis in SM and new treatments that were approved for advanced SM (midostaurin, avapritinib).

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.

Developing a standardized approach for assessing mast cells and eosinophils on tissue biopsies: A Work Group Report of the AAAAI Allergic Skin Diseases Committee. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2021; 148:964-983. [PMID: 34384610 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2021.06.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Mast cells and eosinophils are commonly found, expectedly or unexpectedly, in human tissue biopsies. Although the clinical significance of their presence, absence, quantity, and quality continues to be investigated in homeostasis and disease, there are currently gaps in knowledge related to what constitutes quantitatively relevant increases in mast cell and eosinophil number in tissue specimens for several clinical conditions. Diagnostically relevant thresholds of mast cell and eosinophil numbers have been proposed and generally accepted by the medical community for a few conditions, such as systemic mastocytosis and eosinophilic esophagitis. However, for other mast cell- and eosinophil-associated disorders, broad discrepancies remain regarding diagnostic thresholds and how samples are processed, routinely and/or specially stained, and interpreted and/or reported by pathologists. These discrepancies can obfuscate or delay a patient's correct diagnosis. Therefore, a work group was assembled to review the literature and develop a standardized consensus for assessing the presence of mast cells and eosinophils for a spectrum of clinical conditions, including systemic mastocytosis and cutaneous mastocytosis, mast cell activation syndrome, eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis/enteritis, and hypereosinophilia/hypereosinophilic syndrome. The intent of this work group is to build a consensus among pathology, allergy, dermatology, hematology/oncology, and gastroenterology stakeholders for qualitatively and quantitatively assessing mast cells and eosinophils in skin, gastrointestinal, and bone marrow pathologic specimens for the benefit of clinical practice and patients.

Bone Marrow Mast Cell Antibody-Targetable Cell Surface Protein Expression Profiles in Systemic Mastocytosis. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20030552. [PMID: 30696068 PMCID: PMC6387409 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20030552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2018] [Revised: 01/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite recent therapeutic advances, systemic mastocytosis (SM) remains an incurable disease due to limited complete remission (CR) rates even after novel therapies. To date, no study has evaluated the expression on SM bone marrow mast cells (BMMC) of large panel of cell surface suitable for antibody-targeted therapy. In this study, we analyzed the expression profile of six cell-surface proteins for which antibody-based therapies are available, on BMMC from 166 SM patients vs. 40 controls. Overall, variable patterns of expression for the markers evaluated were observed among SM BMMC. Thus, CD22, CD30, and CD123, while expressed on BMMC from patients within every subtype of SM, showed highly variable patterns with a significant fraction of negative cases among advanced SM (aggressive SM (ASM), ASM with an associated clonal non-MC lineage disease (ASM-AHN) and MC leukemia (MCL)), 36%, 46%, and 39%, respectively. In turn, CD25 and FcεRI were found to be expressed in most cases (89% and 92%) in virtually all BMMC (median: 92% and 95%) from both indolent and advanced SM, but with lower/absent levels in a significant fraction of MC leukemia (MCL) and both in MCL and well-differentiated SM (WDSM) patients, respectively. In contrast, CD33 was the only marker expressed on all BMMC from every SM patient. Thus, CD33 emerges as the best potentially targetable cell-surface membrane marker in SM, particularly in advanced SM.

Abstract
The skin is one of the most frequent tissues affected in patients with mastocytosis, but cutaneous lesions are highly heterogeneous in shape, size, color, number, localization, and distribution. The World Health Organization recognizes 3 subtypes of cutaneous mastocytosis (CM): maculopapular CM (MPCM), diffuse CM, and mastocytoma of skin. An international task force of experts in mastocytosis has recently proposed subdividing MPCM into monomorphic and polymorphic, which could predict the duration of the disease in children. More research is warranted to develop an improved classification of CM that ideally should incorporate robust factors with prognostic impact on disease behavior.
