AI Article Synopsis
- - Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis is a rare skin disorder characterized by a combination of reticulate hyperpigmentation, noncicatricial alopecia (hair loss), and onychodystrophy (nail abnormalities).
- - A case study highlights a 21-year-old woman who exhibited the classic symptoms: widespread reticulate pigmentation, hair loss, and abnormal finger and toe nails.

Article Abstract
Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis is a rare ectodermal dysplasia with a triad of generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, noncicatricial alopecia, and onychodystrophy. We report a case of a 21 year old woman who had generalized reticulate pigmentation, diffuse noncicatricial alopecia and onychodystrophy of finger and toe nails. Along with this triad she had palmoplantar keratoderma and poorly developed dermatoglyphics. There was no evidence of involvement of other ectodermally derived organ.
