Acropigmentación reticulada de Dohi

Abstract

Abstract—Reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi is a dyschromic disorder characterized by hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules with a reticulate pattern, localized on the dorsum of hands and feet, and appears predominantly in Japanese patients. We describe the case of a 20-year-old woman, with Japanese father and Spanish mother, that presented the typical lesions of reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi. This entity has an autosomal dominant inheritance, although recessive autosomal inheritance and sporadic cases have been described, as ours. Differential diagnosis must be made with other disorders that course with reticulate pigmentation as reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura and Dowling-Degos disease.
