Abstract
Cutaneous mastocytosis is a group of diseases characterized by infiltration of mast cells in the skin. Telengiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans is a rare form of cutaneous mastocytosis and it is usually seen in adults. Round, oval, brown-red macular lesions are usually seen on the trunk. Systemic involvement may be observed in one third of the patients. Treatment depends on the presence of systemic involvement and clinical symptoms of patients. Our patient was a 39 years old man presented with widespread brownish pruritic macular lesions on his trunk and arms. There was no systemic involvement. The patient was diagnosed with telengiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans both clinically and histopathologically. We decided to report this case because telengiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans is an atypical form of cutaneous mastocytosis and is rarely seen.
