AuthorYearSexAge, mo*TypeClinical evolutionMC phenotypeKIT sequencingCytological featuresTreatment
Waters37  1957 DCM 5 y: MCL transformation ND ND Mast cells appeared as large polymorphic cells with acidophilic cytoplasm and large rounded nucleus, few metachromatic granules were discerned in the cytoplasm. None

MCL indicates mast cell leukemia; M, male; DCM, diffuse cutaneous leukemia; ND, not done; F, female; MPCM, maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis; ASM, aggressive systemic mastocytosis; IFNa, interferon alpha; PR, partial response; FU, follow-up; BM, bone marrow; and allo-SCT, allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
