Abstract

The Mediterranean area represents the area of land that borders the Mediterranean basin. It is composed of several countries that share many geographic and racial characteristics. Although Mediterraneans seem to share common skin type and are subjected to similar enviromental factors, they still represent a genetic and socioeconomic diversity. True prevalence of pigmentary disorders in this area depends on large epidemiologic studies, including countries that are not available. This article, however, highlights and classifies the most important developmental (heritable-genetic) and acquired pigmentary disorders seen and reported in this important area of the world.

摘要

地中海地区是指与地中海盆地接壤的陆地地区。它由几个具有许多地理和种族特征的国家组成。尽管地中海地区的人们似乎拥有共同的皮肤类型，且受到相似的环境因素影响，但他们仍然存在遗传和社会经济方面的差异。该地区色素性疾病的实际患病率取决于大规模的流行病学研究，其中包括一些尚未获取相关数据的国家。然而，本文重点介绍并分类了在世界这个重要地区所观察到和报道的最重要的发育性（遗传性）和后天性色素性疾病。
