“…Without examining our patient's father and brother, we cannot be completely certain that they had Dowling Degos Disease but it would appear from the history that they probably did. This would represent four generations of Dowling Degos Disease and corroborate the evidence of Brown (1982) that this genodermatosis is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.…”

Summary Dowling Degos Disease was described by Wilson‐Jones and Grice (1978) as a single disease with a variable clinical presentation, ranging from patients with reticulate pigmentation only, to those with reticulate pigmentation and follicular lesions as the main manifestations. More recently Rebora & Crovato (1984) have suggested that Dowling Degos Disease is only one facet of a more extensive and complex genodermatosis, including Haber's Syndrome and Kitamura's acropigmentio reticularis. We report a case of a 67‐year‐old housewife with Dowling Degos Disease who also had numerous large seborrhoeic warts particularly around her neck, where they were confluent. Two other members of her family also had the characteristic pigmentation and many large seborrhoeic warts. We feel that this may represent an association of seborrhoeic warts and Dowling Degos Disease. The presence of this condition in four generations confirms the autosomal dominant inheritance reported by Brown (1982).

“…Dowling-Degos disease (Reticulate pigmented anomaly of the flexures) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by reticulate brownish pigmentation of the flexures (5)(6)(7). The disorder has a late onset and is frequently accompanied with pigmented comedones and acneform scars.…”

We present a 52-year-old woman with peculiar pigmentation distributed mainly on the trunk, which morphologically and histopathologically resembled the lesion of acropigmentatio reticularis (Kitamura). Ultrastructural as well as histopathological findings suggested that the lesion of the present case may be regarded as a kind of inflammatory process induced by an immune mechanism against some components of keratinoeytes or melanosomes.
