  • Title: A 60-year-old lady with leonine facies: a rare diagnosis.
    Author: Mutreja D, Purohit A, Singh PK, Pati HP.
    Journal: Indian J Pathol Microbiol; 2012; 55(4):566-8. PubMed ID: 23455809.
    Abstract:
    Systemic mastocytosis is a rare clonal disorder characterized by mast cell infiltration of one or more organs, with or without skin involvement. Leonine facies is a rare presentation and corresponds to the morphologic manifestation of diffuse dermal infiltration of the face as a result of long standing disease. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy findings in a 60-year-old woman, who had extensive cutaneous infiltration due to systemic mastocytosis, resulting in 'leonine facies,' are described, and causes of leonine facies are discussed.
