Understanding Cutaneous Mastocytosis: A Case Report on the Symptoms and Diagnosis of a Rare Disease

Cutaneous mastocytosis is a rare skin condition characterized by the accumulation of mast cells, particularly in the dermis, affecting both children and adults. In children, cutaneous mastocytosis is more common, while in adults, it usually progresses to systemic mastocytosis. We present a case report of a three-year-old male child who presented with multiple itchy lesions all over the body for two and a half years. The lesions were spontaneous in nature, reddish in colour, with a wheal-like appearance. The purpose of the case report is to increase awareness and knowledge amongst pathologists about rare disorders.
