Any abnormal coloration or pigmentation of tissue, skin, or organs caused by disease or condition.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'osis' (a medical condition or process), a medical suffix pattern used in diseases like cirrhosis and sclerosis.
Chromatosis disorders reveal how skin and organ color isn't just for looks—it's a window into what's happening inside the body, which is why doctors pay attention to unusual bruising, jaundice, or darkening of skin.
