Summary
Differentiating vitiligo and nevus depigmentosus (ND) can be challenging. Electron microscopy revealed melanocytes in nevus depigmentosus, aiding diagnosis when routine methods fail.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Histopathology
- Electron Microscopy
Background:
- Hypopigmented macules present diagnostic challenges.
- Distinguishing vitiligo from nevus depigmentosus (ND) is crucial for appropriate management.
- Clinical presentation and response to therapy can offer initial clues.
