Bullous mastocytosis in a 3-month-old infant

Abstract: Mastocytosis is a rare myeloid neoplasm characterized by abnormal proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in one or more organ systems including the skin, bone marrow, liver, spleen, lymph nodes and gastrointestinal tract. An infant presenting with bullous lesions is an even rarer clinical presentation of cutaneous mastocytosis. The symptoms and complications are mostly in proportion to the mast cell degranulation in tissues. Management is focused on preventing and treating this event. We report a three-m… Show more

“…1,12,13 Treatment options are symptomatic and aim to reduce mast cell degranulation. 2,14 This patient took a noncompetitive H1-antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer (ketotifen), a histamine-1 receptor antagonist (cetirizine), and a histamine-2 receptor antagonist (ranitidine). The dose of these medications was increased in this patient because of persistent pruritus and flushing symptoms.…”

“…Согласно обобщенным статистическим данным, на каждые 10 тыс. пациентов, обратившихся к дерматологу, приходится 2-3 случая мастоцитоза [4,5]. В России кожные формы мастоцитоза составляют, по разным данным, от 0,1 до 0,8% всех дерматологических диагнозов [6].…”

“…Различные патологические варианты гена c-KIT, в т. ч. изменения нуклеотидной последовательности в кодоне 816 (D816V), были выявлены у 86% детей с мастоцитозом [9]. Результаты исследований подтверждают также и клональную при-роду детского мастоцитоза, несмотря на возможность спонтанного регресса [5]. Считается, что наличие активирующих вариантов гена KIT необходимо для развития мастоцитоза, а фенотипическое разнообразие заболевания может быть обусловлено их комбинацией с другими генетическими вариантами [5,8,9].…”
