Reticulate acropigmentation of kKitamura with mental retardation - A rare case report

Abstract

Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAPK) is a rare pigmentary disorder characterized by a network of freckle-like areas of pigmentation. Although RAPK was first considered to be confined to Japan, worldwide case reports have since appeared. We hereby report this case due to its rarity in Indian population and associated mental retardation.
