Abstract :
Piebaldism is an autosomal dominant uncommon ( 1 in 20,000) congenital pigmentary disorder. Depigmented patches are present since birth. They usually remain unchanged throughout life. Vitiligo is its closest differential diagnosis. We report a unique family in which these two dissimilar depigmentations, i.e. piebaldism and vitiligo (with nevus depigmentosus), were noted in two brothers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this presentation in the literature. (Iran J Dermatol 2009;12 (Suppl): S8-S11)
