Proposed revised classification of systemic mastocytosis (SM)

ClassNameCriteria
Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) Meets criteria for SM; no “C” findings; no evidence of SM-MDS, SM-CMML, SM-AL, or AML with BM mastocytosis; minimal or no MPN features 
II Smoldering systemic mastocytosis (SSM) As above for ISM; 2 or more “B” findings 
III Aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM) Meets criteria for SM; no evidence of SM-MDS, SM-CMML, SM-AL, or AML with BM mastocytosis; 1 or more “C” findings; MPN features allowed 
IV Systemic mastocytosis associated with myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable (SM-MPN) No “C” findings 
ClassNameCriteria
Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) Meets criteria for SM; no “C” findings; no evidence of SM-MDS, SM-CMML, SM-AL, or AML with BM mastocytosis; minimal or no MPN features

III Aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM) Meets criteria for SM; no evidence of SM-MDS, SM-CMML, SM-AL, or AML with BM mastocytosis; 1 or more “C” findings; MPN features allowed 
IV Systemic mastocytosis associated with myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable (SM-MPN) No “C” findings 

SM indicates systemic mastocytosis; MPN, myeloproliferative neoplasm; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; CMML, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia; AL, acute leukemia; AML, acute myeloid leukemia; and BM, bone marrow.
