Abstract

Awareness of cutaneous manifestations of non-accidental injury (NAI) is essential for healthcare professionals working with children. Some cutaneous conditions may present with bruise-like lesions that can mimic NAI. We present the case of a male infant referred for investigation of NAI, who was subsequently diagnosed with cutaneous mastocytosis.
