Telangiectasia macularis eruptive perstans successfully treated with PUVA therapy.
[cutaneous mastocytosis]
We
present
the
case
of
a
58
-
year
-old
woman
who
was
diagnosed
as
having
telangiectasia
macularis
eruptiva
perstans
(
TMEP
)
and
was
successfully
treated
with
PUVA
photochemotherapy
.
During
the
6
-
month
follow-up
,
no
recurrence
of
pruritus
or
skin
lesions
was
observed
.
TMEP
represents
a
rare
form
of
cutaneous
mastocytosis
,
which
is
clinically
characterized
by
reddish-
brown
telangiectatic
macules
symmetrically
distributed
over
the
trunk
and
extremities
.
Although
in
the
majority
of
cases
the
disease
is
limited
to
the
skin
,
systemic
involvement
may
occur
.
The
treatment
of
TMEP
is
challenging
and
several
therapeutic
modalities
have
been
proposed
in
the
past
.
