Dermatoscopic Findings of Cutaneous Mastocytosis

Abstract

Skin lesions of mastocytosis may exhibit a pigment network, a dermatoscopic feature said to be characteristic of melanocytic lesions. We were also able to identify a new dermatoscopic feature, a reticular vascular pattern that is characteristic of a clinical variant of mastocytosis known as TMEP. This feature may help to differentiate TMEP from other variants of mastocytosis and from other exanthematous skin diseases.
