Novel Presentation of Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura With Bilateral Clinodactyly

Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAPK) is a rare genetic hyperpigmentation disorder that is a member of the dyschromatoses characterized by hyperpigmented macules or papules that may interrupt the dermatoglyphics with extra-dermatological manifestations. We present a case of a 29-year-old bl...

Sumario:Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAPK) is a rare genetic hyperpigmentation disorder that is a member of the dyschromatoses characterized by hyperpigmented macules or papules that may interrupt the dermatoglyphics with extra-dermatological manifestations. We present a case of a 29-year-old black male who presented with hyperpigmented atrophic macules both on the extremities and genitals, as well as bilateral clinodactyly of the 5th fingers and inferior gingival hyperplasia with teeth crowding, to draw attention to the novel extra dermatological manifestations of RAPK and the differential diagnosis of cutaneous hyperpigmented lesions.
