The understanding of the genetic basis of CM is evolving.…”

A 10-year-old boy presented with a year-long history of progressively growing telangiectatic patches of the bilateral proximal arms, forearms, and posterior thighs. The lesions were mildly pruritic at onset, but asymptomatic at presentation. His history was negative for preceding illnesses or vaccinations, urticaria, epistaxis, gastrointestinal (GI) complaints, episodic flushing, gingival bleeding, easy bruising, anorexia, ataxia, fatigue, liver disease, and the chronic use of any oral medications. On physical examination, multiple irregular round to oval pink patches were noted on the bilateral arms and thighs (Figure 1). Telangiectasias were seen on dermoscopy (Figure 2). Darier's sign was negative. He did not demonstrate dermatographism. There were no nail bed capillaroscopy abnormalities. A punch biopsy of a representative patch of his left thigh was taken (Figure 3), along with a Giemsa stain (Figure 4).
