Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura: a case report.
A Turkish female patient from Eastern Anatolia is described with the clinical and histopathological features of reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK). The brother of the patient, who has similar clinical features, refuses to give a biopsy specimen. No similar lesions are noted on the other members of the patient's family. We have found the case worthwhile to report, since case reports on RAK from ethnic groups other than Japanese are still rare at present.
