Mastocytomas and diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis are further manifestations of cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) [9]. Solitary mastocytomas are common in children. Most are present at birth or develop in infancy. These lesions are flat or mildly elevated, well demarcated, solitary yellowish red-brown plaques or nodules, typically 2-5 cm in diameter. Diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis is a rare disorder characterized by diffuse mast cell infiltration of large areas of the skin that presents in infants in the first year of life. Severe edema and leathery indurations of the skin leads to accentuation of skin folds (pseudo-lichenified skin) and a peau-dbrange-like appearance. Systemic complications include hypotension and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Infants and young children with considerable mast cell infiltration of the skin sometimes exhibit blister formation in the first 3 years of life. MPCM and other forms of CM have been classified in a consensus nomenclature (table 1) [10].
