Mast cell disease involves a group of conditions characterized by the infiltration of mast cells in the tissues and organs. Mast cell disease predominantly affects the skin, presenting in the form of urticaria pigmentosa. This concise review article defines mast cell disease. This paper presents a dermatopathologist's perspective on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of mast cell disease.
