Bullous mastocytosis in a 3-month-old infant.

[cutaneous mastocytosis]

Mastocytosis is a rare myeloid neoplasm characterized by abnormal proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in one or more organ systems including the skin , bone marrow , liver , spleen , lymph nodes and gastrointestinal tract . An infant presenting with bullous lesions is an even rarer clinical presentation of cutaneous mastocytosis . The symptoms and complications are mostly in proportion to the mast cell degranulation in tissues . Management is focused on preventing and treating this event . We report a three -month -old infant with bullous mastocytosis to enhance awareness about this rare diagnosis .
