Refractory anemia

Refractory cytopenias with unilineage dysplasia (RCUD) is a frequent low-risk subtype of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; see this term) characterized by refractory cytopenias associated with dysplasia limited to one cell lineage.

Pathologic fracture

A pathologic fracture occurs when a bone breaks in an area that is weakened secondary to another disease process such as tumor, infection, and certain inherited bone disorders. A pathologic fracture can occur without a degree of trauma required to cause fracture in healthy bone.

	The faces of mast cell disease: bone marrow infiltrates in 3 patients with systemic mastocytosis.

	Herein, 3 cases are presented to illustrate the clinical and morphologic heterogeneity of mast cell disease: the first patient, with long standing urticaria pigmentosa, developed anemia and thrombocytopenia; the second patient presented with a pathologic fracture; and the third patient was suspected to have refractory anemia.
