[Mastocytosis evolving into anetoderma. Review of the literature (author's transl)].

The authors reviewed the literature of cases of mastocytosis with either anetoderma or pseudo-pelade. They studied the different substances in the secretions of mastocytes which could have an effect on collagen and elastic fibres. They supported the theory that there is a susceptible connective tissue. They stressed the underestimation of these associated features of mastocytosis.
