| Popis: |
Bullous mastocytosis (BM) is a rare variant of diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis where there is disorderly infiltration of the skin by mast cells. We report a 4-month-old male infant with this rare disease who presented with wrinkled tough skin and generalized multiple bullous lesions. Diagnosis was done by serum tryptase level and histopathological examination. The patient responded well to oral corticosteroid and antihistaminic therapy. Although a congenital disorder, timely diagnosis and treatment can be potentially rewarding in patients with BM. |
