Urticaria pigmentosa is the most common manifestation of cutaneous mas tocytosis. Three-quarters of all cases occur during infancy or early c hildhood. Occasionally, vesicles or bullae may appear in persons with urticaria pigmentosa. We describe an unusual case of bullous urticaria pigmentosa with prominent scalp involvement.
