Abstract:
Piebaldism is an uncommon autosomal dominant genetic disorder. It is characterized by amelanotic macules or patches, usually containing some hyperpigmented or normopigmented macules, of the central portion of the forehead, the chin, and the ventral aspect of the trunk and the limbs. A 10 year-old female patient had depigmented lesions on the abdomen and both legs, discovered one month after her birth. On the history taking, she had family history of four generations. We report a case of piebaldism showing typical autosomal dominant pattern.
