Cutaneous mastocytosis as a rare differential diagnosis for unilateral chronic facial pain and erythema: a case report.
[cutaneous mastocytosis]
Cutaneous
mastocytosis
(
CM
)
has
been
associated
with
urticaria
,
itching
,
and
pain
of
the
affected
regions
.
Although
the
occurrence
of
CM
in
the
facial
skin
is
rare
,
it
may
be
a
cause
of
chronic
facial
pain
,
and
pain
characteristics
may
mistakenly
be
interpreted
as
trigeminal
nerve
pathology
.
However
,
the
dermatological
appearance
of
the
different
variants
of
cutaneous
mastocytosis
is
distinct
and
should
be
considered
as
an
uncommon
differential
diagnosis
in
an
orofacial
pain
diagnostic
algorithm
.
This
article
presents
a
case
of
telangiectasia
macularis
eruptiva
perstans
,
a
rare
type
of
cutaneous
mastocytosis
,
as
the
underlying
cause
of
chronic
facial
pain
,
erythema
,
and
swelling
.
