BACKGROURD: Early lesions of vitiligo can be confused with
various other causes of hypopigmentation and depigmentation. Few workers have
utilized dermoscopy for the diagnosis of evolving lesions of vitiligo.
CONCLUSION: Pigmentary network changes, and perifollicular
and perilesional hyperpigmentation on polarized light examination, and a
diffuse white glow on ultraviolet light examination were noted in evolving
vitiligo lesions. Histopathological examination was comparatively less
reliable. Dermoscopy appears to be better than routine histopathology in the
diagnosis of evolving lesions of vitiligo and can obviate the need for a skin
biopsy. Free Full Text.
