A Case of Progressive Cribriform and Zosteriform Hyperpigmentation
- Abstract
- Progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation (PCZH) is a distinctive syndrome first described by Rower et al. in 1978. It characteristically presents as a single area of uniformly tan, cribriform macular pigmentation with zosteriform distribution. Further, it can histologically be characterized by increased melanin pigmentation in the basal cell layer with a complete absence of nevus cells, and a lack of a preceding history of skin rash, injury or inflammation or other associated cutaneous or internal abnormalities. We herein report a case of PCZH that had developed along the right abdomen, right flank area and right back area in a 26-year-old male. The histologic investigation revealed increased melanin pigmentation in the basal layer and a distinct lack of nevus cells.
