Abstract
- We report a case of morphea occuring in vitiliginous lesions. About 5 months ago, two lesions of 4X4cm-sized depigmented patches appeared on her left thigh. The depigmented patches had begun to be hardened about 3 months ago. Histopathologic examinations showed that the reticular dermis appeared thickened, closely packed, hypocellular, and stained more deeply eosinophilic than in normal skin. The epidermis had no melanin pigments. Dopa stain was negative in white lesion, whereas Dopa stain was positive in normal lesion.
