Dermatology, Barts Health NHS Trust, London, GBR.
Congenital cutaneous mastocytoma is an uncommon disorder characterized by abnormal proliferation of mast cells. It typically presents as a single, small, yellowish-brown plaque, and its diagnosis is generally facilitated by distinctive clinical features, including a positive Darrier's sign. This report presents a case of an unusually large, solitary congenital mastocytoma encompassing nearly the entire circumference of the calf, observed in a newborn boy of Bangladeshi origin.

- Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare capillary malformation that causes a persistent reticular and purplish skin appearance, and the text discusses two cases of CMTC.
- The first case is of a 13-month-old boy with a specific skin lesion and a biopsy showing mast cells, confirming CMTC and a solitary skin tumor, while the second case is a newborn with a CMTC lesion who later developed other tumors.
- CMTC is generally benign, but it may coexist with other conditions, so medical assessments should check for additional malformations related to the condition.
When Mast Cells Run Amok: A Comprehensive Review and Case Study on Severe Neonatal Diffuse Cutaneous Mastocytosis.

Neonatal diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis (NDCM) is defined as the infiltration of the epidermis by a clonal proliferation of mast cells, observed at birth, without initial signs of systemic involvement. The typical driver mutation is in the gene. We report a rare case of a boy, born at term, already presenting at birth with generalized subcutaneous nodules on the face, scalp, trunk, back, hands, and feet.

To a large extent, the clinical picture of pediatric mastocytosis depends on the age at which it is diagnosed. A neonate with diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis may frequently present in a severe state requiring treatment. Toddlers may require long-term anti-mediator therapy, and this may lead to concerns such as organizing preschool education due to the need for epinephrine injections.
