Presentation
Therefore, TMEP should be considered when a patient presents with telangiectasia, even if the presentation is unilateral. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Mastocytosis presents in two forms—cutaneous and systemic.[3] Mast cells most commonly localize to the skin, accounting for the frequent presentation of skin lesions in patients affected by either form. [jcadonline.com]

Petechiae
Physical examination demonstrated "cayenne pepper"-like brown macules, scattered petechiae, and multiple minute, blanching telangiectasias (Figure 1) that were more evident on dermatoscopy (Figure 2). [readbyqxmd.com]
Notably, perifollicular lesions, petechiae, and ecchymosis occur more often below the hip, where there is greater hydrostatic pressure. [107] Prognostically, scurvy is fatal if left untreated. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Axillary Freckling
Neurofibromas, axillary freckling and intraocular Lisch nodules were not detected on thorough whole-body examination. The lesions did not urticate on rubbing (negative Darier sign). [clinicaldermatology.eu]

Distractibility
The elusiveness of the diagnosis is enhanced at times by the presence in macular and papular lesions of eosinophils, a finding that may distract the observer from the fundamentally mast-cell character of the process. [derm101.com]
Discussion In our case, an uncommon disease manifestation as early as in the neonatal period distracted prior diagnosis. [clinicaldermatology.eu]

Workup

Diagnostic workup including tissue biopsy must be considered in such patients after a thorough history and physical have been performed and other telangiectatic processes have been ruled out. [pennstate.pure.elsevier.com]
Treatment
Cosmetic treatment includes the use ofPsoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy, total skin electron beam radiation and flashlamp pulsed-dye laser treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The disorder is characterized by telangiectatic macules and generally has a good prognosis, with little tendency to urticate or cause constitutional symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The epidemiology of TMEP has yet to be fully defined. While urticaria pigmentosa, the most common of the cutaneous mastocytoses, is common in children, TMEP is very rare in children. Familial TMEP has been reported and can occur in children. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Pathophysiology
We aimed to assess the clinical and histopathological characteristics of acquired bilateral TMEP, and the pathophysiological mechanism of acquired bilateral TMEP among these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology is not completely understood and further studies are needed on a larger scale, especially on the molecular level. [austinpublishinggroup.com]

Prevention
The treatment of cutaneous mastocytosis aims at controlling symptoms and preventing mast cell degranulation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
TMEP is a benign condition, but special care should be taken in patients who have significant systemic symptoms to prevent complications. [aocd.org]
