[Solitary mastocytoma with generalized symptoms]

The physical examination of a 9 1/2 months old infant with repeated attacks of flushing, hypotonia and tachycardia, beginning at the age of 3 months revealed two indurated, brown coloured skin areas, each with a diameter of 2 cm, situated on the left side of the back and on the left buttock, respectively. The histological findings proved the clinically suspected diagnosis of a "solitary mastocytoma". No more generalised symptoms were observed after the surgical removal of the skin lesions during a follow up period of 24 months until today.
