Abstract:
A female patient with the history and clinical signs suggesting cutaneous and systemic mastocytosis is reported. The diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis was confirmed by the Darier's sign as well as by histologic analysis of the skin. An X-ray film of the bones showed an infiltration of the mast cells into the skeletal system what was also cytologically and histologically proven. The patient was treated only symptomatically because of the benign course of the disease. A current literature data on mastocytosis syndrome are discussed.
