  Fig. 1 (A) Multiple pinhead to rice sized mottled hypopigmented macules with diffuse hyperpigmented patches. (B) A closer view. (C) A biopsy specimen taken from a hyperpigmented lesion on the abdomen showed increased abundant melanin pigments in the epidermis with a normal number and distribution of melanocytes (H&E, ×200; left inset: Fontana Masson, ×200; right inset: melanoma antigen recognized by T cells 1 [MART-1] ×200). (D) A hypopigmented macule showed reduced amount of melanin pigments in the lesion area (H&E, ×200; left inset: Fontana Masson, ×200; right inset: MART-1, ×200).
