Abstract
Endogenous ochronosis/Alkaptonuria is a rare, genetic metabolic disease presenting with cutaneous hyperpigmentation, disabling arthropathy, and homogentisic aciduria. The dermoscopic features of this entity have a good correlation with the histopathological findings, and its knowledge can facilitate early diagnosis to decrease long-term morbidity and improve the quality of life.
