Presentation

In this report, we present a 53-year-old woman with primary mast cell sarcoma of the thoracic spine vertebrae. Mast cell sarcoma is an aggressive and rare cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A prominent, patchy infiltrate of eosinophils was also present. Scattered very large epithelioid cells were also present; these often showed bizarre features, including multilobated nuclei and multinucleation. [nature.com]

A bone scan, GI workup, and identification of the D816V c-kit mutation can also be helpful in cases where the diagnosis requires confirmation. [msdmanuals.com]

For example, a GI workup is dictated by symptoms of GI involvement, and lymph nodes are biopsied if lymphoma is suspected Narcotic analgesics should be used with care, particularly at high doses Cladribine, a nucleoside analog, does not appear to require [slideshare.net]

Treatment

Our results indicate that imatinib is of potential use in the treatment of mast cell sarcoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment There are no standards for treatment, which is unlikely to prolong life. Common treatment options include: Surgical Excision Radiation [knowcancer.com]

Cytotoxic drugs (eg, daunomycin, etoposide, 6-mercaptopurine) may be indicated for treatment of mast cell leukemia, but efficacy is unproved. [msdmanuals.com]

Prognosis

Mast cell sarcoma is an extremely rare and aggressive disease characterized by local proliferation of atypical mast cells, destructive growth and poor prognosis, without systemic involvement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis is very poor. Mast cell sarcoma quickly becomes mast cell leukemia. PREVENTION No preventative measures exist. [knowcancer.com]

In SM-AHNMD, the prognosis depends on the course of the associated haematological disorder. Agressive systemic mastocytosis and mast cell leukaemia have a poorer prognosis. [patient.info]

Etiology

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Etiology in many patients involves an activating mutation (D816V) in the gene coding for the stem cell factor receptor c-kit, which is present on mast cells. [msdmanuals.com]

A mutation of the oncogene C-KIT D816V is found in many (but not all) cases. [ 9 ] Epidemiology [ 10 ] This is a rare and heterogeneous group of disorders, of which urticaria pigmentosa is the most common manifestation. [patient.info]

Pathophysiology

However, the pathophysiological basis of such a coevolution has not been clarified. [thedoctorsdoctor.com]

Prevention

PREVENTION No preventative measures exist. Signs & Symptoms Patients do not have skin lesion as is common in similar diseases, nor do they fit the criteria of systemic mastocytosis. [knowcancer.com]

There is no sure way to prevent UP. The inherited form is very rare, and even when the child has the abnormal gene, they may not ever develop UP. However, you can prevent the disorder from getting worse. [healthline.com]

Cromolyn 200 mg orally 4 times a day (100 mg 4 times a day for children 2 to 12 years; not to exceed 40 mg/kg/day) may help by preventing mast cell degranulation. Ketotifen 2 to 4 mg orally twice a day is inconsistently effective. [msdmanuals.com]
