Generalized lentiginosis is characterized by the presence brownish macules scattered over the entire body. It may or may not be inherited. As generalized lentiginosis may be viewed as a clinical marker for possible systemic abnormalities including cardiologic, auditory and genitourinary abnormalities, patients should be thoroughly evaluated at their first presentation and also subsequently at regular intervals. A 53-year-old female presented with brownish hyperpigmented linearly arranged macules on the extremities, neck, and inguinal area. The pigmented lesions were arranged in multiple Blaschko’s lines on the both sides of the foot, and also were arranged in patchy pattern on the right side of the neck and left inguinal area. The lesions first started on the both dorsa of the foot when she was young. Biopsy specimen from hyperpigmented macule showed hyperkeratosis, elongated rete ridges, increased melanocytes in the basal layer, and change in the dermis or collagen bundle were not to seen. We herein report a rare case of generalized lentiginosis without any systemic abnormality.
