Abstract
- We observed 2 cases of urticaria pigmentosa with synchronous onset and concordant manifestation in a pair of identical male twins. At the age of 12 months both had developed multiple, round-to-oval, discrete brown-colored macules on the trunk and extremities. They had no systemic manifestations. Biopsy specimens in both cases showed the presence of a number of mast cells in the papillary and superficial dermis. We, herein, describe a pair of monozygotic twins with urticaria pigmentosa.
