hydroxychloroquine in isolated cutaneous mastocytosis patients or indolent systemic mastocytosis with associated skin involvement patients

Conditions: Mastocytosis

Summary: the treatment of systemic mastocytosis has two main axes: * control of mast cell activation symptoms and * the control of proliferation (accumulation) of mast cells. there is no standard treatment and no treatment has a marketing authorization for the treatment of monoclonal indolent mastocytosis.

mastocytosis is an orphan disease related to the accumulation and / or the proliferation of abnormal mast cells in different tissues. in adults, a classic distinction is made between isolated cutaneous forms (10 to 15%) and systemic forms (85 to 90%). the treatment of systemic mastocytosis has two main axes: * control of mast cell activation symptoms and * the control of proliferation (accumulation) of mast cells. there is no standard treatment and no treatment has a marketing authorization for the treatment of monoclonal indolent mastocytosis.
