[Bone mastocytosis. Diagnostic approach].
The mastocytosis form a group of complaints characterized by the accumulation of mast cell. Systemic mastocytosis is diagnoses when there are one or more organ or tissues affected, independent of their localization in the skin. Bone mastocytosis affects between 70-90% of the patients suffering from systemic mastocytosis and lacks common diagnostic criteria. The most characteristic finds of bone mastocytosis, collected from 213 cases published in the universal literature over the last 20 years will be discussed. The results which, were found in relation to clinical, analytical, radiological and anatomophatological variables, aimed at the diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis and indispensable for the diagnosis of bone mastocytosis will be commented upon. Compiling this data the publications about mastocytosis between 1977 and 1997 have been revised, choosing those in which complaints of radiologic bone could be found.
