Primary Site(s)

C421
Primary site must be bone marrow (C421)

Abstractor Notes

If the diagnosis is "systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm (AHN)" the patient has a history of myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasm, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm or acute leukemia. This would be a second primary.

Smoldering systemic mastocytosis may progress to aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM) or mast cell leukemia. Progression to either of these neoplasms is the same primary.

Definition

Criteria for the diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis have been established. Five variants are recognized.

Smoldering systemic mastocytosis: The mast cell burden is high, organomegaly is often found, and multilineage involvement is typically present. The clinical course is usually stable for many years, but there may be progression to aggressive systemic mastocytosis or mast cell leukemia. Skin lesions are found in most patients.

Systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm (AHN): This fulfills the general criteria for systemic mastocytosis as well as the criteria for an AHN. In most cases, a myeloid disease of non-mast cell lineage is detected, such as a myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasm, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm or acute leukemia.

The AHN should be abstracted as a second primary.

Aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM): Mast cells in bone marrow smears may be increased in number, but account for less than 20% of all nucleated bone marrow cells. Most patients with ASM have no skin lesions.
