  • Title: Acquired disorders with depigmentation: A systematic approach to vitiliginoid conditions.
    Author: Saleem MD, Oussedik E, Schoch JJ, Berger AC, Picardo M.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2019 May; 80(5):1215-1231.e6. PubMed ID: 30236516.
    Abstract:
    Acquired disorders with depigmentation are commonly encountered by dermatologists and present with a wide differential diagnosis. Vitiligo, the most common disorder of acquired depigmentation, is characterized by well-defined depigmented macules and patches. Other conditions, such as chemical leukoderma, can present with similar findings, and are often easily mistaken for vitiligo. Key clinical features can help differentiate between acquired disorders of depigmentation. The first article in this continuing medical education series focuses on conditions with a vitiligo-like phenotype. Early recognition and adequate treatment of these conditions is critical in providing appropriate prognostication and treatment.
