Abstract
- Seoul, Korea Cutaneous mastocytosis is primarily a disease of children and its onset in adults life is rare. When it develops in adult, lesions appear as urticaria pigmentosa in most cases, and rarely as telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans. We report herein a case of cutaneous mastocytosis which appeared for the first time around the age of 40 with mixed or intermediate form of urticaria pigmentosa and telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans clinically, and histologically.
