  • Title: [Urticaria pigmentosa adultorum and systemic mastocytosis--diagnostic principles and therapeutic possibilities].
    Author: Senff H, Kuhlwein A, Reinel D.
    Journal: Z Hautkr; 1987 Nov 01; 62(21):1529-30, 1533-6. PubMed ID: 3424899.
    Abstract:
    We report on the clinical picture of urticaria pigmentosa adultorum and systemic mastocytosis. In four out of five patients, we proved systemic mastocytosis by means of a biopsy from the iliac crest, although these patients did not complain of systemic signs and symptoms. In all cases, the cutaneous changes and clinical symptoms could be improved by a four-week-heliotherapy in the North Sea summer climate; itching did not reappear but five months later. Heliotherapy is regarded as an useful alternative concerning the treatment of urticaria pigmentosa and cutaneous manifestation of systemic mastocytosis.
