ABSTRACT
The authors would like to report a rare case of telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP), a form of cutaneous mastocytosis, in a 55-year-old female patient with a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus on empagliflozin. The patient presented with a two-month history of rash and itching on her lower extremities, unresponsive to topical treatment. A dermoscopic evaluation and a skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of TMEP. The patient demonstrated significant improvement with antihistamine and topical steroid treatment.
