Case Report: Evolution of KIT D816V-Positive Systemic Mastocytosis to Myeloid Neoplasm With PDGFRA Rearrangement Responsive to Imatinib

Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a rare neoplasm resulting from extracutaneous infiltration of clonal mast cells (MC). The clinical features of SM are very heterogenous and treatment should be highly individualized. Up to 40% of all SM cases can be associated with another hematological neoplasm, most f...

The clinical features of SM are very heterogenous and treatment should be highly individualized. Up to 40% of all SM cases can be associated with another hematological neoplasm, most frequently myeloproliferative neoplasms.

In the absence of ‘B’ and ‘C’ findings, we diagnosed an indolent form of SM. For 2 years after the diagnosis, the absolute eosinophil count progressively increased. Bone marrow evaluation showed myeloid hyperplasia and the FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene was detected. Thus, the diagnosis of myeloid neoplasm with PDGFRA rearrangement was established.
