[Vitiligo appearing after contact with mud containing solvents: an occupational cause?]

The authors describe one case of Vitiligo in a worker employed in a firm for the exploitation of underground energetic products. The disease occurred after contact with the mud used for the drilling containing aromatic, aliphatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. The possible occupational cause of the disease, as more solvents in the mud have the structure of aromatic hydrocarbons is discussed.
