Diffuse cutaneous bullous mastocytosis in a newborn.
[cutaneous mastocytosis]
Diffuse
cutaneous
mastocytosis
is
the
rarest
subtype
of
mastocytosis
among
those
that
affect
children
.
A
7
-
month
-old
girl
presented
at
birth
dry
and
thickened
skin
.
On
the
second
day
of
life
,
tense
blisters
appeared
on
erythrodermic
areas
and
during
the
next
days
spread
over
the
face
,
trunk
,
and
limbs
.
The
skin
was
bright
red
,
had
a
"
peau
d
'
orange
"
appearance
,
and
was
considerably
thickened
with
numerous
translucent
and
hemorrhagic
blisters
.
A
skin
biopsy
revealed
massive
infiltration
of
the
dermis
with
mast
cells
,
leading
to
the
diagnosis
of
diffuse
erythrodermic
mastocytosis
.
Systemic
corticosteroids
were
given
along
with
antihistamines
with
good
results
.
Despite
the
progresses
in
the
understanding
of
pathogenesis
,
genetics
,
and
diagnostic
criteria
of
mastocytosis
,
clear
and
reliable
prognostic
markers
are
still
lacking
,
especially
in
order
to
predict
systemic
involvement
.
not
only
in
diffuse
but
also
in
the
commoner
forms
of
the
disease
.
