  • Title: Cutaneous mastocytosis associated with congenital alopecia.
    Author: Kim CR, Kim HJ, Jung MY, Lee JH, Park JH, Lee DY, Lee JH, Yang JM.
    Journal: Am J Dermatopathol; 2012 Jul; 34(5):529-32. PubMed ID: 22356916.
    Abstract:
    Mastocytosis is a rare disorder that shows accumulation of mast cells in tissues. Atypical clinical features may mimic impetigo, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and carcinoid syndrome; however, only 1 case of scarring alopecia associated with mastocytosis has been reported. We present the first case of cutaneous mastocytosis associated with congenital alopecia areata in a 3-year-old Korean girl. This case showed an atypical clinical presentation of congenital alopecia areata, but histopathological results confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis.
