Abstract:
Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria is a rare pigmentary disorder characterized by widespread mothed hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. We report a 40-year-old male patient with numerous hyperpigmenter, and hypopigmented macules all over the body except on the palms and soles. The family history revealed similar pigmentary changes in 5 other members through 4 generations, and we could guess the hereditary pattern of the disease of this family to be autosomal dominant inheritance.
