Abstract:
Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) represents a rare form of cutaneous mastocytosis, which is clinically characterized by reddish-brown telangiectatic macules symmetrically distributed over the trunk and extremities. Although in the majority of cases the disease is limited to the skin, systemic involvement may occur. Treatment is often challenging due to lack of an established first-line therapy and as such is primarily focused on symptomatic relief. This case describes a 45-year-old Filipino Female with chronic refractory TMEP.
