Resumen
To the Editor:
Mastocytosis is a hematologic condition characterized by mast cell (MC) proliferation and accumulation in the skin or internal organs. The estimated incidence is 1:150,000. Currently, there are limited data about the management of patients with mastocytosis undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) despite the high theoretical possibility of this type of surgery to act as a trigger for degranulation of MCs.1, 2
