ABSTRACT
Las enfermedades dermatológicas que cursan con un patrón reticular son múltiples y variadas. Aunque dicho patrón particular de presentación morfológica muchas veces es muy distintivo, usualmente es poco discutido y estudiado en el contexto clínico. A menudo, estos patrones no se abordan como una categoría diagnóstica propia. Asimismo, las etiologías de este grupo de enfermedades son diversas, desde causas vasculares, infecciosas, tumorales, inflamatorias, metabólicas o genéticas. Además, pueden variar desde condiciones relativamente benignas hasta enfermedades graves que amenazan la vida. Este artículo tiene como objetivo discutir la enfermedad de la piel que se manifiesta con lesiones reticulares y se propone un algoritmo de diagnóstico clínico, basado en el color predominante de las lesiones y los principales hallazgos clínicos, para un abordaje práctico inicial (AU)
Reticular patterns are observed in a great variety of skin diseases. While these morphologic patterns are often highly distinctive, they are seldom discussed or studied in clinical contexts or recognized as a diagnostic category in their own right. Diseases presenting with reticulate skin lesions have multiple etiologies (tumors, infections, vascular disorders, inflammatory conditions, and metabolic or genetic alterations) and can range from relatively benign conditions to life-threatening ones. We review a selection of these diseases and propose a clinical diagnostic algorithm based on predominant coloring and clinical features to aid in their initial assessment (AU)
