Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans: a case report and review of the literature.

We report a 20-year-old female patient with telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans characterised by telangiectatic macular lesions and episodic flushing, two lesions of which were successfully treated by laser. Two clinically different forms of cutaneous mastocytosis have both been previously described as telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans, and we now propose that this term be restricted to cutaneous mastocytosis characterised by the typical telangiectatic macules.
