(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column to a table, click within the table and select the > symbol that appears to be given options. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged.

Systemic Mastocytosis
Systemic Mastocytosis with an Associated Hematological Neoplasm
Definition / Description of Disease
The 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors defines five subtypes of Systemic mastocytosis[1]
- Indolent systemic mastocytosis (including the bone marrow mastocytosis subtype)
- Smouldering systemic mastocytosis
- Systemic mastocytosis with an associated haematological neoplasm
- Aggressive systemic mastocytosis
- Mast cell leukaemia
The term systemic mastocytosis with an associated haematological neoplasm (SM-AHN) refers to cases with systemic mastocytosis and associated hematological neoplasms combination at the same time. In addition to systemic mastocytosis, usually a myeloid disease of non-mast cell lineage is detected, such as a myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasm, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm or acute myeloid leukaemia[2] .
This page will focus specifically only on systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm.
Synonyms / Terminology
Systemic mastocytosis with an associated clonal hematological non-mast cell lineage disease (SH-AHNMD)
Epidemiology / Prevalence
SM-AHN represents 5-40% of cases of systemic mastocytosis[3]

In systemic mastocytosis cases, an associated haematological neoplasm can be diagnosed before, simultaneously, or after. Any defined myeloid or lymphoid malignancy can occur as an associated haematological neoplasm, but most commonly myeloid neoplasms predominate, with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm, and unclassifiable are seen {1694,1696,1697, 3735,3751,3793}.
The most commonly detected AHN is chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia. Lymphoid neoplasms are rare.
The activating KIT D816V mutation is seen in most cases of SM-AHN, and usually this mutation is detectable in the systemic mastocytosis compartment and in the AHN cells. Additional mutations in other genes (e.g. TET2, SRSF2, ASXL1, CBL, RUNX1 and the RAS family of oncogenes) may also be detected depending based on the type of AHN. And these mutations will impact on the prognosis.
