    Author: Damodar S, John CN, Gopalakrishnan G, Nair S, Samuel R, Thomas M, Shetty DP.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2006 Jul; 28(7):446-9. PubMed ID: 16825991.
    Abstract:
    Mast cell disease (MCD) is a clonal disorder of the mast cell and its precursor cells. Cardiac surgery in MCD is rarely described. We report an unusual case of a 14-year-old girl who was admitted for atrial septal defect closure and incidentally found to have hepatosplenomegaly with lymphadenopathy who underwent a successful open-heart surgery, after a diagnosis of MCD.
