Since there have been no further publications on this syndrome in the last 20 years, the entity of the syndrome must be questioned. The extent to which there is a relationship to the disease described by Dowling-Degos or to dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria is currently not clear (McCormack CJ et al. 1997).
