title: Heart transplantation in a patient with systemic mastocytosis.
abstract: Systemic mastocytosis is a hematologic disorder characterized by mast-cell proliferation and organ infiltration. A variety of stimuli and drugs can cause severe anaphylaxis in these patients. We report the case of a female patient diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis and advanced dilated cardiomyopathy in whom a heart transplant was successfully performed.
