Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vitiligo universalis is an uncommon variant that is rarely seen. Interestingly, vitiligo universalis often accompanies systemic diseases such as endocrinopathies. A 43-year-old man presented with whole body depigmentation and poliosis affecting most of his scalp and body hair. He had undergone a liver transplant 2 years ago due to liver cirrhosis from a chronic hepatitis B infection and has been treated for diabetes mellitus for several years. Histopathology showed no melanocytes and an absence of epidermal pigmentation on the skin. We herein report a rare case of vitiligo universalis associated with chronic viral hepatitis B.
