Abstract

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare capillary malformation characterized by persistent reticular and violaceous erythema. We present two cases of CMTC. The first case involved a 13-month-old male with a reticular violaceous macule on the left gluteal region and a brownish papule with Darier's sign on the inner malleolus of the left foot, which was biopsied, revealing > 15 mast cells per field, leading to a diagnosis of CMTC and solitary cutaneous mastocytoma. The second case involved a newborn with a characteristic CMTC lesion without other malformations at birth, who subsequently developed two cutaneous tumors consistent with infantile hemangiomas during follow-up. CMTC is a benign condition. However, approximately 50% of cases exhibit associated anomalies. When CMTC is suspected, musculoskeletal, ophthalmological, and cutaneous malformations should be ruled out. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of CMTC associated with mastocytoma and one of the few cases associated with infantile hemangioma.
