Abstract
Cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) encompasses several distinct patterns of disease which can be distinguished by the type of skin lesions, age of onset, familial occurrence, noncutaneous involvement, associated c-kit mutations, and prognosis. A clear distinction of the type of CM in individual patients has important implications regarding patient management and prognosis.Keywords
