Abstract
- Generalized vitiligo associated with allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplantation has rarely been reported. We experienced two cases of generalized vitiligo after allogeneic bone marrow and stem cell transplantation. The first patient was received an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and subsequent allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for severe aplastic anemia from his sister. The second patient underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for acute myelogeneous leukemia from his sister. Generalized vitiligo developed after transplantation. Neither vitiligo nor evidences of autoimmune diseases were found in their stem cell donors. Vitiligo was effectively treated with narrow band UVB irradiation.
