Solitary mastocytoma, a rare dermatological entity accounts for 10-15% of cutaneous mastocytosis. We report a rare case of solitary mastocytoma presenting at birth, treated successfully with topical tacrolimus. Along with reassurance and strict avoidance of triggering factors, no recurrence was reported within the one year follow-up period.

Division of Dermatology, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) is a rare skin disease with limited data on its prevalence across different racial groups. This retrospective cohort study examines the characteristics of CM at Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) from January 2010 to June 2022, identifying 192 confirmed cases of CM and further stratifying this cohort to 155 patients with documented Fitzpatrick phototypes. There were two important findings: first, nine (4.

This literature review aims to comprehensively evaluate the clinical and dermoscopic presentations of common pediatric diseases among children with skin of color (SoC) while also addressing potential variations based on racial backgrounds. This review encompasses various conditions, such as nevi subtypes, viral infections, infestations, and inflammatory dermatoses, as well as hair diseases and abnormal vascular formations, occurring in pediatric populations. Overall, we identified 7 studies on nevi subtypes, 24 studies on skin infections, 6 on inflammatory dermatoses, 10 on hair diseases and disorders, and 14 on miscellaneous disorders that also satisfied our SoC- and race-specific criteria.

Article Synopsis
- - Mast cell tumors (MCTs) in dogs are categorized into cutaneous (cMCTs) and subcutaneous (scMCTs) types, with differences in tumor origin and the need for proper grading for prognosis.
- - A study analyzed 305 scMCTs and 1291 cMCTs, revealing distinct breed distributions and histopathological features, where scMCTs exhibited more severe characteristics and a higher likelihood of being classified as Kiupel high grade compared to cMCTs.
- - The findings indicate significant histopathological differences between scMCTs and cMCTs, but further research is needed to see how these differences might affect clinical outcomes in dogs.
Solitary Cutaneous Mastocytoma in an Adult Diagnosed on Cytology: A Rare Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- Mastocytosis is a condition where there is an abnormal increase of mast cells in various organs, presenting either on the skin or systemically.
- A case study of a 19-year-old female highlighted a solitary cutaneous mastocytoma, identified by a reddish-brown nodule in her supraclavicular area that was sampled for analysis.
- Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) revealed characteristic cells and granules, leading to a diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytoma, showing FNAC's effectiveness in diagnosing mast cell tumors without needing a tissue biopsy in some situations.
