Case Report A 50-day-old female child presented with a skin colored raised lesion on the dorsal aspect of the left wrist [ Figure 1 ] since the age of 10 days, which gradually increased in size to attain the present size.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There are a number of cases in which more than one mastocytoma was present. Demis 2 states that four lesions may be present. I describe, herein, a patient with nine mastocytomas.[jamanetwork.com]

They usually present within 2 years of age, mostly within first 3 months 1.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A case of an adult with severe prolidase deficiency who developed cutaneous mastocytoma of the eyelid was presented. To the authors’ knowledge, adult-onset solitary mastocytoma of the eyelid has never been reported previously.[journals.lww.com]
Abstract A 50-day-old female child presented with asymptomatic skin colored raised lesion on the dorsal aspect of the left wrist since the age of 10 days.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since the mastocytoma was otherwise asymptomatic and she had no mastocytosis-associated general symptoms, she elected to monitor the residual lesion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

She has no prior history of itching, flushing, fevers, fatigue, night sweats, weightloss or skin rashes. She had experienced diarrhea whenever she ate wheat, several years earlier, but this subsided once she eliminated gluten from her diet.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Objective: To familiarize physicians with the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, evaluation, and management of a solitary cutaneous mastocytoma.[eurekaselect.com]
Prolidase deficiency is an inherited connective tissue disorder that has systemic sequelae, such as intractable skin ulceration, poor wound healing, recurrentinfections, and intellectual impairment.[journals.lww.com]
There was no history of appearance of bullae over the lesion, wheals on other parts of the body, flushing of body, pruritus, vomiting, and diarrhea on scratching. General physical and systemic examination was normal.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
One of the women had experienced only one episode of gastrointestinal distress characterized by severe nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain [ 11 ].[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Her bowel movements are normal and she has no abdominalcramping or reflux. Cutaneous examination of her right abdomen showed an 8 x 4 mm brown patch with irregular borders ( Figure 1 ).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If there is a Darierssign and a strong clinical suspicion this presentation is specific enough that I do not think biopsy is mandatory.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Keywords: Asymptomatic mastocytoma, solitary Darier'ssign Introduction What was known? Majority of cases are symptomatic with positive Darier'ssign.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Post-rubbing urtication (signifying a positive Darier’ssign) was noted in 79% (11/14) of the mastocytomas. None of the patients had systemic mastocytosis. However, five patients (31%of 16 individuals) had generalized symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms may be localized to include pruritus or blistering of the lesion or generalized with flushing and rarely urticaria.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Systemic symptoms were noted in 5 patients: flushing (3 women) and pruritus (3 women); gastrointestinal symptoms and headaches, flushing and/or anaphylaxis were each noted in one woman.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Results: Typically, a solitary cutaneous mastocytoma presents as an indurated, erythematous, yellow- brown or reddish-brown macule, papule, plaque or nodule, usually measuring up to 5 cm in diameter.[eurekaselect.com]
[…] cutaneous mastocytosis.[ 2 ] On an average, 10-15% of all patients with cutaneous mastocytosis have a solitary mastocytoma.[ 3 ] The majority of mastocytomas present during infancy, typically by 3 months of age, as a single indurated, red -brown macule, papule[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Conclusions A mastocytoma presents as a reddish-brown papule that consists of an accumulation of mast cells in the dermis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These immunomodulators offer advantages over corticosteroids in terms of a more selective action, no associated systemic side-effects, and the absence of associated skinatrophy, depigmentation and telangiectasia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Albeit less common, solitary mastocytomas have been described in 16 adults: 8 men and 6 women; 2 individuals did not have any epidemiologic features reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathogenetically and from the mechanism of action of tacrolimus, which prevents mast cell degranulation, an improvement of mastocytoma can be expected.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The goal of management of a symptomatic solitary mastocytoma is to prevent the release of mast cell mediators and alleviate symptoms associated with mediator release, particularly pruritus.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
