ABSTRACT
Mastocytosis is a heterogenous group of disorders characterized by abnormal growth and accumulation of mast cells in one or more organ systems. Urticaria pigmentosa represents the most common form of cutaneous mastocytosis in children and adults. We report a case of adult-onset urticaria pigmentosa in a 53-year-old man. The patient had pruritic multiple scattered well-demarcated brownish macules and papules on whole body for 4 years. Histopathologic examination showed diffuse and perivascular infiltration of lymphocytes and cuboidal mast cells in the upper dermis. Any sign or symptom of systemic involvement was not detected.
