Abstract
- Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) is characterized by a symmetrical distribution of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules on the extremities, especially over the dorsa of the hands and feet. The pattern of inheritance is believed to be autosomal dominant, but many sporadic cases have been reported. We report one family of DSH, which showed a typical autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance by pedigree analysis.
