Resumen
CORONEL CARBAJAL, Carlos. Mastocitosis: Unaafección poco común. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2001, vol.73, n.2, pp. 106-114. ISSN 1561-3119.
Mastocytosis is the abnormal proliferation of mastocytes that may affect one or various organs. This cell stores important pharmacologically active substances. Its most frequent manifestations are the cutaneous ones, but other manifestations may appear as a result of the affectation of some organs as the bone marow, the liver, the spleen, the bones, the lymphatic ganglia and the digestive tube. There are different diagnostic methods, but histology is essential. The treatment includes general and specific measures. Interest in using interferon has increased nowadays.
