Diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis, a rare skin condition, presents uniquely. This case highlights the pseudoxanthomatous variant, characterized by xanthoma-like lesions, in a young female patient.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis (DCM) is a rare urticaria pigmentosa variant.
  • The pseudoxanthomatous variant of DCM is exceptionally rare, with only two prior case reports.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old female presented with diffuse skin infiltration.
  • The patient exhibited multiple papulo-nodular lesions clinically resembling xanthomas.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the classical features of mastocytosis.
  • This case represents the third documented instance of the pseudoxanthomatous variant of DCM.

Implications:

  • This report expands the understanding of rare dermatological presentations.
  • Further research into the pseudoxanthomatous variant of DCM is warranted.
