Abstract
- Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria is one of the pigmentary disorders of the skin which has been reported mainly from Japan. It appeara to be determined by an autosomal dominant gene. Clinical characteristics of the disease are reticulate or mottled pigmentation with areas of depigmentation on the backs of the hands and feet and sometimes on the arms and legs without any subjective symptoms which develop during infancy or early childhood. We described five individual members with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria in two families, one family had three individuals in three generations and the other family had two individuals in two generations. Literatures were briefly reviewed.
