AB Mastocytosis  is  defined  by  accumulation  of  clonally  expanded  mast  cells  in  tissues  such  as  skin,  bone  marrow,  liver,  spleen,  and  gut.  The  mast  cell  expansion  is  generally  recognized  in  skin  and/or  bone  marrow.  Mastocytosis  occurs  at  any  age  and  has  a  slight  preponderance  in  males.  Mastocytosis  is  a  rare  disorder  and  its  exact  prevalence  is  not  known;  however,  it  is  estimated  to  occur  in  ~1  in  20,000  people.  Familial  occurrence  is  rare,  and  atopy  is  not  increased  compared  to  the  general  population.
