| Summary: | A 53-year-old woman presented to dermatology OPD with an abnormal growth under her right eye since one year. The patient first developed white patches on the fingertips at the age of 13. Similar lesions appeared over her toes and perioral region and then progressed to involve approximately 90% of the body surface area over the next 15 years, which was consistent with universal vitiligo. She did not undergo any treatment for vitiligo during this time. She denied prior use of phototherapy, topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors and systemic immunosuppressive agents. The disease remained stable for over a decade prior to the onset of the current lesion. |
