[Systemic mastocytosis and malignant hemopathies. Review of the literature apropos of a case].
The authors report the case of a 68-year old woman with systemic mastocytosis revealed by spleen enlargement and portal hypertension, and associated with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia. Based on their review of the literature, they describe the general characteristics of systemic mastocytosis and underline the frequent association of this disease with malignant haematological disorders, notably in the myeloid series.
