A 70-year-old woman presented with generalized reticulate pigmentation, scarring alopecia, and few discrete, violaceous plaques over the trunk and forearm. Dermoscopic evaluation of the reticulate plaque showed reticulate hyperpigmentation with multiple telangiectasias, and skin biopsy showed lichenoid interface dermatitis with marked pigment incontinence. Thus, a final diagnosis of poikiloderma due to lichen planus pigmentosus was considered.

This is important for the management of the disease, as surgical management requires disease stability.

Reticulate pigmentary disorders can be classified into inherited or acquired and cutaneous drug- induced reticulate hyperpigmentation belongs to this last group. The list of the drugs involved is constantly increasing and chemotherapy agents are frequently implicated. We report a new case of chemotherapy-related reticulate hyperpigmentation to gemcitabine, even though a previous chemotherapy with nanoparticle, albumin-bound (Nab®) paclitaxel and gemcitabine may have promoted the onset of the disease.

Article Synopsis
- Dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) is a genetic disease characterized by skin pigmentation issues, nail problems, and leukoplakia, with around 8-10% of patients developing cancers, including colorectal cancer.
- A case study involved a 25-year-old man with DKC who was diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer, receiving total neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation), which initially reduced the tumor.
- Despite a near-complete response, the patient experienced tumor regrowth five months later and underwent a total pelvic exenteration surgery, after which he has remained cancer-free for one year.
