Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by multi-organ disorders caused by variants of genes involved in the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway. The nine causative genes including PTPN11 and CBL have been identified. Mastocytosis is a disease characterized by mast cell proliferation in skin, bone marrow, and other organs. To date, no previous cases of Noonan syndrome with mastocytosis caused by a pathogenic CBL variant have been reported. A boy was diagnosed with Noonan syndrome at 8 months of age with facial features and minor anomaly of his body. He presented with brown nodules of 5-10 mm on his body since the age of 2 months. The patient was diagnosed with mastocytosis by a biopsy specimen from brown nodules, which showed infiltration of mast cells. Whole-exome sequencing of the parent--patient trio revealed a de novo pathogenic CBL variant. The occurrence of mastocytosis may be a cue for the analysis of the CBL gene in Noonan syndrome. The CBL gene is involved in mastocytosis and various cancers. In the case of the pathogenic variant, long-term follow-up for the risk of cancers related to the CBL variant is necessary.
