Abstract :
Vitiligo is a disease that results in depigmented areas in the skin. It may
develop at any age but the average age at onset is 20 years. Association of
vitiligo and melanoma has been commonly reported, but malignancies
other than melanoma have been rarely associated with vitiligo. We report
a 73?year?old patient with new onset vitiligo who developed esophageal
adenocarcinoma in the following years.
