Objective: To evaluate the demographic and clinical features of cutaneous mastocytosis (CM). Methods: Records of 55 patients with cutaneous mastocytosis were retrospectively analysed. Results: Of the 22 females and 33 males, 80%had urticaria pigmentosa/ maculopapular CM and 20%had mastocytoma. Of all cases, 81.8%had first lesions in childhood. The most common presentation was involvement of trunk together with extremities. Thirteen (23.6%) patients had history of bulla; Darier’s sign was positive in 34 of 38 patients. Itching was the most common complaint, provocated by hot weather/bath. Conclusion: Clinical presentations of urticaria pigmentosa/maculopapular CM and mastocytoma are similar regarding gender, age of onset, age of diagnosis, and presence of Darier’s sign and history of bulla. In contrast to mastocytoma, urticaria pigmentosa/maculopapular CM lesions were frequently located on trunk together with extremities.展开更多

Four cases are reported with metastases to the skin. We present an additional case, with subcutaneous metastases of the back and leg. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature in which the nodule on an extremity was the metastasis of a salivary duct carcinoma of parotid gland.展开更多
