Abstract

First described in 1929, dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) occurred mostly in Asia. Though its uncertainty mode of inheritance, patients affected with this disease showed asymptomatic hypo- and hyper-pigmented macules of irregular size and shape involving almost the whole of the body. Face, palm and sole can be affected. Here we report a case from China, and cases reported from 1977 were reviewed.
