Abstract
Mastocytosis is characterized by an excessive number of apparently normal mast cells in the skin and occasionally in other organs. In pediatric patients, cutaneous involvement is most prevalent in the form of urticaria pigmentosa, which is typically asymptomatic or minimally so with resolution by adolescence. Here, two pediatric cases with urticaria pigmentosa were reported.
Özet
Mastositoz, deride ve bazen de diğer organlarda çok sayıda normal görünüşlü mast hücresinin bulunması ile karakterizedir. Pediatrik hastalarda, tipik olarak asemptomatik veya minimal semptomlu olan ve adolesan dönemde düzelen ürtikerya pigmentoza şeklindeki deri tutulumu, en yaygınıdır. Burada, ürtikerya pigmentozalı iki çocuk olgu sunuldu.
