Acupuncture may be a useful complementary therapy to help manage symptoms related to mast cell activation, but more research is needed.

A 13-year-old female was diagnosed with mast cell leukemia, a type of SM, and stage IV ovarian mixed germ cell tumor.

Indolent SM may cause the body to age faster than normal, according to a recent study published in the journal Innovation in Aging.

Cogent Biosciences submitted a New Drug Application to the FDA for bezuclastinib in non-advanced SM, with future submissions planned in 2026.

Drugs may induce hypersensitivity reactions in SM, requiring clinical caution.

A recent case report describes the rare reoccurrence of mastocytosis in an adult patient 40 years after a childhood diagnosis.

A study proposed two scoring systems that were found to be effective in assessing gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with SM.

There is a strong link between mastocytosis and serious allergic reactions to insect stings, especially from insects like bees and wasps.

A particular form of spinal fracture was found to be more common in indolent systemic mastocytosis compared with primary osteoporosis.

A group of experts in anaphylaxis offered recommendations for epinephrin use in different patient populations, including those with SM.
