Urticaria pigmentosa is the most common manifestation of cutaneous mastocytosis. Three-quarters of all cases occur during infancy or early childhood. Occasionally, vesicles or bullae may appear in persons with urticaria pigmentosa. We describe an unusual case of bullous urticaria pigmentosa with prominent scalp involvement. Prognosis and therapy are reviewed.
