Overview
Physical examination for mast cell tumor include inspection for a large assortment of types of skin lesions, testing for dermatographism (Darier's sign), and palpating for hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy.[1]
Physical Examination
Vital signs
Skin
- Urticaria pigmentosa:
- Fixed, reddish brown lesions appears as maculo-papules, plaques, nodules, or blisters.[2]
- Urticaria Pigmentosa (UP) lesions tend to be larger, better delineated, and more hyperpigmented in children, as compared to adults, who tend to have numerous small lesions that coalesce to form mottled areas.
- The trunk and thigh are more commonly involved with sparing of face, palms and soles.
- Darier’s sign:
- Lesions urticate in response to physical irritation.
- Diffuse Cutaneous Mastocytosis
- Diffuse infiltrative yellow-orange xanthogranuloma-like subcutaneous nodules, or as a widespread urticarial eruption with bullae and redness.[2]
