AI Article Synopsis
- Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR) is a rare skin disorder marked by a triad of symptoms: reticulate hyperpigmentation, non-scarring hair loss (alopecia), and nail abnormalities (onychodystrophy).
- The first reported case from Syria showcases the classic features of DPR, adding unique symptoms like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and lack of fingerprints (adermatoglyphia).
- This case is unique due to the location of the alopecia on the beard, a first-time report, and distinctive histopathological findings from a biopsy.
Article Abstract
Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR) is a rare disorder with characteristic triad of generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, noncicatricial alopecia and onychodystrophy. We report the first case from Syria with classical features of the triad along with hyperhidrosis and adermatoglyphia. Based on previous studies this case is distinguished by the location of alopecia on the beard which is not reported before and distinctive histopathological features were found on the biopsy.
