Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans(TEMP) is an unusual type of urticaria pigmentosa, the eruption of which usually occurs in adults and consists of red telangiectatic macules. The lesions tend to be very persistent and unresponsive to treatment. We report a case of TEMP occurred in a 26 year-old woman. The patient had numerous pea sized reddish brown telangiectatic macules with positive Darier`s sign on the trunk and extermities for 7 years. Histopathologic findings were remarkable for numerous mast cells and telangiectasia on the upper dermis. With a trial of PUVA therapy(total 215J/㎠), the skin lesions almost completely resolved.
