Neurofibromatosis and reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi: a case report

A 13-year-old boy had progressive pigmentary changes affecting his limbs which began when he was 9 months of age. He also had a history of café au lait macules on his trunk since birth which were becoming more numerous. The diagnosis of reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi (dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria) and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) was made on the basis of the clinical features. To our knowledge, this is the first report of these two conditions occurring in the same patient.
