Systemic mastocytosis is a rare hematologic condition involving the clonal, neoplastic proliferation of mast cells. Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) is the most common form of systemic mastocytosis, causing chronic multisystemic symptoms resulting in substantial patient burden and reduced quality of life. Patients with ISM often go undiagnosed for years following symptom onset due to the rarity of ISM, heterogenous symptoms, and numerous potential differential diagnoses. These delays contribute to a higher mortality risk from severe complications, such as anaphylaxis as well as greater overall morbidity. Through this engaging video activity, learn from two experts and improve your understanding of the pathophysiology and systemic effects of ISM along with the best practices for making a timely, evidence-based diagnosis. Additionally, hear firsthand experiences from two patients with ISM as they describe the impact ISM has on their lives, along with their own difficult journeys toward achieving a diagnosis.
