Abstract EN

The pathogenesis of mastocytosis is not well defined and thus treatment remains challenging and remainson a palliative basis.

We present two cases (a 48-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man) with indolent systemic mastocytosis in whom omalizumab (anti-IgE) reduced gastrointestinal and cutaneous symptoms significantly.

This observation provides additional insight into the effects of omalizumab on systemic mastocytosis.
