Familial urticaria pigmentosa associated with thrombocytosis as the initial symptom of systemic mastocytosis and Down's syndrome

ABSTRACT Most cases of urticaria pigmentosa are confined to the skin, but visceral involvement and/or haematological abnormalities have been observed. It is still a matter of debate whether all forms of mastocytosis are true neoplasias or reactive hyperplasias. Familial inheritance of urticaria pigmentosa is rare. We report on a fraternal set with urticaria pigmentosa as part of a systemic mastocytosis. The first patient additionally revealed persistent thrombocytosis and splenomegaly. His brother developed urticaria pigmentosa, intermittent diarrhoea, hepatomegaly and asthma bronchiale associated with trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome). The association of mastocytosis with thrombocytosis has seldom been described. In our patient it preceded the development of systemic mastocytosis. The association with Down's syndrome has not been reported until now. [source]

Scabies with Clinical Features and Positive Darier Sign Mimicking Mastocytosis

But diagnosis pitfalls are frequent in infants, in whom the clinical presentation is usually atypical and different from adults. We report a misleading case of a 5-month-old child, who presented with pruritic brown,red macules of the trunk showing a positive Darier's sign, suggestive of an urticaria pigmentosa. [source]
