Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: solitary cutaneous mastocytoma is a variant of cutaneous mastocytosis which carries a good prognosis. The age of onset is in infancy, during the first weeks of life, or it can even be congenital. Typically, they present as red-brownish lesions that may be asymptomatic or present systemic manifestations associated with histamine release.
Case report: we describe a case of a 19-year-old woman, with a cutaneous solitary mastocytoma of recent appearance, with an unusual clinical presentation and a peculiar dermoscopy.
Conclusion: solitary cutaneous mastocytoma shouldn’t be considered as en exclusive entity in the perdiatric population. Acknowledgment of its atypical clinical presentation with its dermatoscopic features, is useful for the diagnosis.
