Bone marrow mastocytosis associated with primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma: an unusual case report.

ABSTRACT: In a subset of patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM), an associated hematologic neoplasm (AHN) is identified. Most AHN are myeloid neoplasms, whereas lymphoid neoplasms are uncommon. We report on a 70-year-old female patient with bone marrow mastocytosis (BMM) associated with primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL). Initially, the patient had developed BMM at the age of 61 years. Since then, she suffered from recurrent anaphylaxis and vitiligo. A BM investigation revealed several compact aggregates of MC exhibiting CD25 and the KIT mutation D816V. The basal serum tryptase level ranged between 26.0 and 30.9 ng/ml. Nine years after the initial diagnosis of BMM, the patient developed cutaneous nodular reddish lesions on her scalp. Histologic examination excluded mastocytosis and
