Abstract

A non-clonal mast cell activation syndrome is a newly emerged diagnosis. It shares the clinical features of anaphylaxis and mastocytosis despite having distinct mast cell biology. In this,paper we describe a series of patients representing the spectrum of non-clonal mast cell activation syndrome (nc-MCAS). We highlight the clinical manifestations of nc-MCAS as well as the diagnostic criteria and treatment options.
