World Health Organization Classification and Diagnosis of Mastocytosis: Update 2023 and Future Perspectives

Peter Valent et al. Immunol Allergy Clin North Am. 2023 Nov.

Abstract

Experts of the European Competence Network on Mastocytosis (ECNM) and the American Initiative on Mast Cell Disorders have discussed and updated diagnostic criteria and the classification of mastocytosis, based on new insights in the field and data collected in recent years, mostly within ECNM registry projects in which studies on several thousand cases have been performed. Based on this proposal, the World Health Organization has updated its classification of mastocytosis. This article discusses the revised classification of mastocytosis in light of a rapidly moving field and the advent of new diagnostic parameters, new prognostication tools, and new therapies.

Keywords: Diagnostic criteria; ICC; Mast cells; Mastocytosis; WHO classification.
