Haber's syndrome is an autosomal dominant, rare genodermatosis characterized by photosensitive, persistent facial erythema associated with reticulated hyperpigmentation. We present a case of an eight-year-old healthy Saudi girl who presented with facial erythema and generalized reticulated hyperpigmentation. Systematic review and laboratory studies were unremarkable. Histopathological examination revealed hyperpigmentation of the basilar keratinocytes with mild digitated elongations of the rete ridges. The patient was diagnosed with early-onset clinical presentation of Haber's syndrome. In this report, Haber's syndrome is reviewed, and differential diagnoses of reticulated hyperpigmentation are discussed.
