Abstract

We experienced a case of urticaria pigmentosa. A 3,400 gm female infant was torn after 38 weeks gestation to a 24 years old mother. On 3rd hospital day, a brownish small lesion was seen on the left malleolar region. Two months later, she visited to our hospital with multiple skin lesions. Diagnosis was established by skin biopsy. The review of the related literature was made briefly.
