Systemic mastocytosis: retrospective review of a decade's clinical experience at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
The clinical experience with a group of 21 patients with systemic mastocytosis followed at our institution is summarized. Cutaneous and gastrointestinal symptoms and findings were the most prominent chronic manifestations; episodic vascular collapse was the most dramatic acute event. All patients had indolent mastocytosis. There was no mortality.
