Dermoscopic features of skin lesions in patients with mastocytosis.
[cutaneous mastocytosis]
To
evaluate
dermoscopic
features
in
a
group
of
127
patients
with
mastocytosis
in
the
skin
and
to
investigate
the
relationship
between
different
dermoscopic
patterns
and
other
clinical
and
biological
characteristics
of
the
disease
.
Clinical
and
laboratory
data
were
compared
among
patients
with
mastocytosis
grouped
according
to
the
different
dermoscopic
patterns
.
Patients
were
selected
from
the
Instituto
de
Estudios
de
Mastocitosis
de
Castilla
La
Mancha
and
the
Department
of
Dermatology
of
Hospital
Universitario
Ramón
y
Cajal
from
April
1
through
September
30
,
2009
.
Patients
Overall
,
127
consecutive
patients
(
70
females
[
55
.
1
%
]
and
57
males
[
44
.
9
%
]
;
median
age
,
17
years
;
range
,
0
-
81
years
)
with
mastocytosis
in
the
skin
were
included
in
the
study
.
Evaluation
of
dermoscopic
patterns
and
investigation
of
potential
predictive
factors
for
more
symptomatic
forms
of
the
disease
according
to
the
need
for
daily
antimediator
therapy
.
Four
distinct
dermoscopic
patterns
were
observed
:
yellow-orange
blot
,
pigment
network
,
reticular
vascular
pattern
,
and
(
most
frequently
)
light-
brown
blot
.
A
reticular
vascular
pattern
was
identified
in
all
telangiectasia
macular
eruptiva
and
some
maculopapular
mastocytosis
.
In
turn
,
all
patients
with
mastocytoma
displayed
the
yellow-orange
blot
pattern
.
The
reticular
vascular
dermoscopic
pattern
was
associated
with
the
need
for
daily
antimediator
therapy
;
this
pattern
,
together
with
serum
tryptase
levels
and
plaque-
type
mastocytosis
,
represented
the
best
combination
of
independent
factors
to
predict
the
need
for
maintained
antimediator
therapy
.
Dermoscopy
is
a
feasible
method
for
the
subclassification
of
mastocytosis
.
Of
note
,
a
reticular
vascular
pattern
is
more
frequently
associated
with
the
need
for
antimediator
therapy
.
