Abstract
- Mastocytosis is an uncommon disease characterized by an abnormal accumulation of mast cells in a variety of tissues, most commonly, in the skin. It may mimic other conditions because of numerous signs and symptoms produced by mast cell mediators. We report a case of an unusual manifestation of cutaneous mastocytosis in a 7-year-old girl who had hypertrophy and periodic swelling of the left labia majora with urticaria pigmentosa.
