Unusual presentation of telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans at the site of healed herpes zoster; Wolf's isotopic response.
Australasian Journal of Dermatology 2023 June 16
There are several reported cases of Wolf's isotopic response, including infections, cancers, inflammatory and immune-related disorders. It is interesting that the majority of these occurred after herpes zoster (HZ) had healed. In this article, we describe an unusual case of adult mastocytosis/telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) at the location of recovered HZ. Given that adult mastocytosis is thought to be caused by dysregulation of the mast cell growth factor receptor, the c-Kit proto-oncogene (CD117), and the fact that the varicella zoster virus-infected cutaneous lesions contain CD117-positive mast cells (CD117+MCs), we hypothesize that CD117+ MCs may be in charge of the local immunological response and cytokine release those results in TMEP after HZ.
