Malignant mast cell tumour is a cancer of the mast cells, which are white blood cells responsible for the body's allergic response. it occurs when these cells multiply uncontrollably and form a tumour, which can spread to other parts of the body.
What happens during the disease - malignant mast cell tumour
Malignant mast cell tumours are caused by an abnormal proliferation of mast cells, which are a type of immune cell. this abnormal growth is usually caused by a mutation in the kit gene, which gives the cells an uncontrolled ability to divide and spread, leading to the formation of a tumour. this mutation can be caused by environmental factors such as exposure to radiation or certain chemicals, or it can arise spontaneously.
