  • Title: Vitiligo coexistent with nevus depigmentosus.
    Author: Kang IK, Hann SK.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 1996 Mar; 23(3):187-90. PubMed ID: 8935629.
    Abstract:
    A 45-year-old Korean man had two distinct types of hypopigmented lesions on the forehead and back: vitiligo and nevus depigmentosus (ND). The hypopigmented macules on the forehead were incidentally discovered 15 days previously and responded well to steroid therapy. The hypopigmented macule on the back had been present since birth, was stable in size, and showed no response to steroid therapy. There were no remarkable differences between the two lesions in routine histopathology or Fontana-Masson staining. However, the lesion on the back was shown to contain melanocytes in electron microscopy (EM).
