Poikiloderma of Civatte es una afección cutánea común que aparece principalmente en el cuello y la cara, especialmente en mujeres posmenopáusicas de piel clara. Aparece como una mezcla de líneas rojas, manchas oscuras y piel fina. Normalmente afecta a zonas expuestas al sol, como la cara, el cuello y el pecho, pero no a las zonas de sombra. Poikiloderma of Civatte se puede clasificar según sus características principales: enrojecimiento, manchas oscuras o una combinación de ambas. La causa exacta no se comprende completamente, pero se cree que factores como la exposición al sol, los cambios hormonales, las reacciones a los perfumes o cosméticos y el envejecimiento influyen. Poikiloderma of Civatte tiende a empeorar lentamente con el tiempo.
Poikiloderma of Civatte (PC) is a rather common benign dermatosis of the neck and face, mainly affecting fair-skinned individuals, especially postmenopausal females. It is characterized by a combination of a reticular pattern of linear telangiectasia, mottled hyperpigmentation and superficial atrophy. Clinically, it involves symmetrically sun-exposed areas of the face, the neck, and the V-shaped area of the chest, invariably sparing the anatomically shaded areas. Depending on the prevalent clinical feature, PC can be classified into erythemato-telangiectatic, pigmented, and mixed clinical types. The etiopathogenesis of PC is incompletely understood. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation, hormonal changes of menopause, contact sensitization to perfumes and cosmetics, and normal ageing have been incriminated. The diagnosis is usually clinical and can be confirmed by histology, which is characteristic, but not pathognomonic. The course is slowly progressive and irreversible, often causing significant cosmetic disfigurement.
