Abstract:
Reticulate pigmented anomaly of the Flexures (Dowling-Degos disease) is the rare pigment anomaly characterized by spotted and reticulate pigrnentation of the flexures. We report a case of reticulate pigmented anomaly of flexures in a 37-year-old woman. She had reticulated network of brown-black macules on right infrarnammary region and arm. Histopathological findings showed branching melanized epidermal downward proliferations arising from the lower border of epidermis.
