Treatment of Localized Vitiligo by Autologous Skin Graft and Systemic PUVA Therapy
Abstract
- Vitiligo is a disease of unknown cause in which melanocytes are preferentially destroyed by unidentified mechanisms. Vitiligo does respond slowly to psoralens with ultraviolet light and less often to applications of topical steroids. Many investigators have developed therapeutic regimens for autografts of normal melanocyte in treatment for this disfiguring disease. We present herein a case of localized vitiligo in a 26-year-old female, who was successfully repigmented with autologous skin graft and systemic PUVA therapy. The achieved result demonstrate a possible therapeutic approach for vitiligo.
