RESUMO
Congenital cutaneous mastocytoma is an uncommon disorder characterized by abnormal proliferation of mast cells. It typically presents as a single, small, yellowish-brown plaque, and its diagnosis is generally facilitated by distinctive clinical features, including a positive Darrier's sign. This report presents a case of an unusually large, solitary congenital mastocytoma encompassing nearly the entire circumference of the calf, observed in a newborn boy of Bangladeshi origin. Measuring 13x6 cm, the lesion formed large bullae and subsequent erosions. The perplexing clinical appearance prompted a skin biopsy, revealing monomorphic CD117 (c-KIT) positive infiltration without significant cell pleomorphism, confirming the diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytoma. The patient underwent management with potent and very potent topical steroids, oral antihistamines, and non-adhesive dressings, remaining under long-term follow-up with secondary care dermatology. In reporting this case, our objective is to augment the existing scientific literature by providing additional evidence that cutaneous mastocytomas can display a spectrum of clinical presentations, as illustrated in this case.
