ABSTRACT
A 19-year-old girl presented with symmetric and bilateral hyperpigmentation, an indurated lesion that initially appeared on the axillary fold at the age of 14, which then extended to the lower back, anterior aspect of both thighs, and popliteal fold. No hypertrichosis was observed (Figure 1).The patient was the youngest of the four children, born from the first-degree consanguineous marriage. She was born at full term and weighed 2,420 g at birth. No similar patient was present in the family. The patient experienced delayed motor acquisition and stature growth (3rd percentile) until the age of 4. Right hypoacusis was diagnosed at the age of 6. She developed hallux valgus, flexion contracture of the fin-gers and toes, barrel deformity of the anterior thorax, and recurrent fever. The laboratory tests, including fasting blood glucose, -triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were normal. Her abdominal, pelvic, and transthoracic ultrasound scans were normal, with no hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, or cardiac abnormalities. Histologic analysis demonstrated patchy acanthosis of the epidermis, with orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis. Keratinocyte hyperpigmentation and spongiosis at certain areas were observed with moder-ate inflammation because of the infiltration of lymphocytes, histiocytes, and plasma cells. Immunohistochemical analysis showed macrosialin (CD68+) and common gamma chain (γc) CD132. Germline mutations in the SLC29A3 gene were not analyzed. The patient was prescribed dermocorticoids with depigmentation therapy, which demonstrated moderate clinical evolution.
