title: [Systemic mastocytosis].
abstract: We report a case of systemic mastocytosis in a 21-year-old male with skin, liver and bone marrow involvement. During the clinical course he developed important gastrointestinal manifestations including a peptic ulcer probably caused by mast cell mediators. In this article we also review the most remarkable characteristics of mastocytosis, especially their systemic forms.
