Abstract

We report an atypical case of systemic mastocytosis in a 66-year-old asymptomatic female, diagnosed incidentally during a routine colonoscopy. This case highlights the diversity of clinical presentations and emphasizes the role of colonoscopy and the need for thorough histopathological examinations in routine endoscopic procedures with subtle abnormalities.

Keywords: asymptomatic; colonoscopy; indolent; occult presentations; systemic mastocytosis.
