Abstract
Mastocytosis is a rare disease, there is no description of cases of SWL in children with this condition. Considering the risk of mast cell degranulation related to the stress of the anesthetic and surgical procedure in question, this report speaks in favor of its viability. Case Report: A 4-year-old child with cutaneous mastocytosis underwent SWL under general anesthesia with successful procedure without triggering a mastocytosis crisis. Discussion: Solving stones through SWL is feasible in children with mastocytosis as long as the risks are controlled by a multidisciplinary team (surgeon, anesthesiologist and collaborative team) minimizing the stress of the procedure.
