Inherited patterned lentiginosis is an inherited skin condition that results in widespread small, flat areas of more-pigmented skin with clearly defined borders, generally noticed when the affected person is an infant or young child.{{OMIM|151001|Inherited Patterned Lentiginosis}} The inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant,{{cite book |author1=James, William D. |author2=Berger, Timothy G. |title=Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: clinical Dermatology |publisher=Saunders Elsevier |year=2006 |isbn=978-0-7216-2921-6 |display-authors=etal}}{{rp|686}} and organs other than the skin are not affected; therefore, it is distinct from Carney complex.{{Cite journal|last=Xing|first=Qinghe|last2=Chen|first2=Xiangdong|last3=Wang|first3=Mingtai|last4=Bai|first4=Wenjie|last5=Peng|first5=Xin|last6=Gao|first6=Rui|last7=Wu|first7=Shengnan|last8=Qian|first8=Xueqing|last9=Qin|first9=Wei|date=July 2005|title=A locus for familial generalized lentiginosis without systemic involvement maps to chromosome 4q21.1-q22.3|journal=Human Genetics|volume=117|issue=2–3|pages=154–159|doi=10.1007/s00439-005-1284-1|issn=0340-6717|pmid=15841387}}
