Background: X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder is a very rare cutaneous condition characterized by different clinical manifestations according to sex.
Methods: We report a 31-year-old woman with X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder.
Results: On examination, there were multiple, asymptomatic, brownish macules in linear and whorled patterns over the trunk, axillae, groin, and extremities. The woman had not experienced any systemic manifestations involving the gastrointestinal, pulmonary, or ocular systems. Her hair, teeth, and nails were normal on close observation. All laboratory data were within the normal range. A genetic study was not performed.
Conclusions: Although a genetic study was not performed, we believe that our patient can be diagnosed with X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder according to the clinical and histopathologic findings.

Article Synopsis
- Reticulate pigmentary disorders (RPDs) are skin conditions that can be either inherited or acquired, featuring areas of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
- There are several inherited types of RPDs, with varying pigmentation patterns and additional symptoms, including DSH, DUH, and RAK primarily affecting East Asian populations, while DDD is more common in Caucasians.
- The article examines the different clinical, histological, and genetic characteristics of these inherited RPDs.

To quantitatively analyze the number and density of macrophage-like cells (MLCs) at the vitreoretinal interface at macular region in diabetic retinopathy (DR) with and without diabetic macular edema (DME). This cross-sectional study involved 240 eyes of 146 treatment-naïve DR patients, including 151 eyes with DME. The number and density of MLCs were analyzed quantitatively using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and were compared between DME and non-DME eyes as well as proliferative DR (PDR) and non-PDR (NPDR) eyes.
