Abstrakt		We present a case of telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) that occurred in an asymptomatic, otherwise healthy 15 year-old boy. He presented with a diffuse, telangiectasic macules within a tan-brown background. No systemic symptoms were mentioned. Pertinent laboratory examinations showed increased serum concentration of histamine and heparin and an augmented urinary excretion of histamine. Microscopic examination of alcohol-fixed biopsy specimen of skin showed an increased number of mast cells. A brief discussion is provided, especially in view of the rarity of telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans in this age group.
