Dr. Kavita Sharma, Dr. S. R. Negi
Abstract :
INTRODUCTION – Urticaria Pigmentosa is rare cutaneous disorder. It is the prototype of mast cell disease. This name is given to a type of cutaneous mastocytosis, in which there’re yellow–own hyperpigmented patches on skin due to abnormal collection of mast cells. Urticaria pigmentosa has clinically diagnostic Darier Sign positivity and should be confirmed by histopathology.
CASE REPORT – We present a case of 2–year–old boy, who came to the OPD of Department of Dermatology. He presented with yellow own hyperpigmented macules on whole body. Skin biopsy of a lesion from trunk was taken and specimen stained by Haematoxylin and Eosin and Geimsa stain for mast cells.
CONCLUSION – Skin biopsy demonstrated diffuse infiltration of mast cells, lymphocytes and eosinophils in papillary dermis. Geimsa stain, which stains the mast cells’ granules, confirmed the mast cells in dermis.
