Abstract(s)
Mastocytoma is a condition that occurs in infants, characterized
by localized mast cell hyperplasia and release of their mediators.
It may be present at birth or may arise during infancy, and
represents approximately 15 -20% of all childhood mastocytosis
lesions. It usually appears in infants as a single yellow–tan, round
to oval nodule or plaque.
The diagnosis is based on the clinical appearance of the
lesions and elicitation of Darier’s sign, and confi rmed by biopsy
which shows mast cell hyperplasia.
We report the case of a child with a solitary mastocytoma
of the scalp.
