RETICULATED HYPERPIGMENTATION

Disorders characterized by true reticulated macular hyperpigmentation are rare. Initial evaluation should exclude other more common entities such as confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Gougerot and Carteaud (see Table 67.1 and Ch. 109), where the lesions are elevated and favor the neck and upper trunk (Fig. 67.20), and the hyperpigmentation of erythema ab igne, which has a widely spaced net-like pattern corresponding to the arrangement of the cutaneous venous plexus (see Ch. 88). A similar violaceous to brown-colored net-like pattern can also be seen on the lower extremities of patients with livedo reticularis. Reticulated hyperpigmentation is an occasional feature of other skin disorders, such as its occurrence on the anterolateral neck in patients with atopic dermatitis (โ€œatopic dirty neckโ€) and in association with epidermolysis bullosa herpetiformis.

When a true reticulated pigmentary disorder exists, the family history should be reviewed and the patient carefully examined for associated abnormalities. The following section discusses prurigo pigmentosa and six genodermatoses associated with reticulated hyperpigmentation. Additional entities that feature reticulated hyperpigmentation are listed in Table 67.8.
