Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura.

R Sharma, S C Sharma, B D Radotra

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology

|July 1, 1989

Summary

Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura, a rare genetic skin disorder, was identified in a mother and daughter. This case uniquely shows peri-orbital and eyelid involvement, expanding the known clinical presentation of this condition.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Medical Genetics

Background:

Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK) is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis.
It is characterized by a reticulate hyperpigmentation of the skin, primarily affecting acral areas.

Observation:

This report details a familial case of RAK involving a mother and her daughter.
Both patients exhibited typical acral and facial hyperpigmentation.

Findings:

Uniquely, both individuals presented with peri-orbital hyperpigmentation and eyelid involvement.
This presentation expands the recognized spectrum of cutaneous manifestations in RAK.

Implications:

The findings suggest that peri-orbital and eyelid involvement may be an under-recognized feature of RAK.
Further studies are warranted to understand the genetic and phenotypic variability of RAK.
