Case Description: Here, we describe a two-month-old boy who presented to the Paediatric Emergency Department with four sudden attacks of flushing with accompanying fatigue, especially after feedings. Upon physical examination, a 5x7 cm brown lesion on his left hypochondra was noted. His laboratory tests were unremarkable. Pathological examination of a biopsy of the lesion revealed diffuse mast cell infiltration. The patient was diagnosed with cutaneous mastocytosis. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of the detailed examination of children with sudden attacks of flushing to make a correct diagnosis and to prevent future life-threatening complications of infrequent clinical entities.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChildrenCutaneousFlushingMastocytosisarticle2811331360009751107000092-s2.0-85158922947
