Bony anomalies in a patient with reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura.
Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura [RAPK] is a rare pigmentary genodermatosis. This is a case report of a 23-year-old Saudi female who started manifesting the disorder in the 2nd decade. The patient had bony abnormalities in the form of absence of terminal phalanges of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th toes. These bone anomalies are extremely rare, and the association has never been described before in the literature.
