Systemic Mastocytosis Presenting as Pathologic Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture

Abstract: Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is pathologically characterized by the proliferation of mast cells with infiltrates in various organs, almost always including bone marrow, leading to defects in bone remodeling. Osteoporosis and subsequent fragility fractures are the most common and clinically relevant presentation, although pathologic fracture through the focal lytic lesions can also be observed. Here, we report the case of a 54-year-old woman, with a recent history of unexplained severe allergic reactions, present… Show more

“…For patients with poor physical conditions, blind pursuit of anatomic reduction is not desirable. Repeated continuous reduction and prolonged surgery and anesthesia may lead to a significant increase in postoperative hidden blood loss in patients, which in turn leads to an increased risk of complications in patients (23)(24)(25). Therefore, priority should be given to the alignment of the fracture rather than complete reduction for frail elderly patients.…”
