A Case of Dowling-Degos Disease
Abstract
-
Dowling-Degos disease, or reticular pigmented anomaly of the flexures, is a rare genodermatosis characterized by an acquired reticular macular hyperpigmentation that initially affects the axillae and groin and later involves intergluteal and inframammary folds, the neck, trunk, and arms. We report a case of Dowling-Degos disease occurring in a 40-year-old woman who has typical hyperpigmentation on flexural areas without any family history and has vesicles on the lip and oral mucosae.
