Abstract
- A recent report from the University of Florida discusses a case of an 8-month-old female who initially presented with cutaneous mastocytosis (CM), a condition where abnormal mast cells accumulate in the skin. However, at age 2.5 years, the patient's symptoms worsened and further testing revealed a diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis (SM), where mast cell accumulation occurs in other tissues as well. This case highlights the atypical transition from CM to SM in a pediatric patient. The researchers suggest that careful monitoring for signs of systemic involvement may be necessary in some pediatric patients with CM. [Extracted from the article]
