Abstract

Vitiligo is an acquired disorder with an unknown etiology in which genetic and non-genetic factors coexist. Melanocytes are destructed in the affected skin areas and clinically depigmented macules and patches appear on the skin. Becker's nevus (BN) appears as hyperpigmented macule, patch or verrucous plaques with sharp and irregular margins and often unilateral occurrence and with associated hypertrichosis in various degrees. Although its pathogenesis is unknown, it is suggested to represent a hamartomatous lesion harboring androgen receptors on the lesion. In this report, we present a 19-year-old male patient who developed vitiligo lesions and then BN adjacent to the vitiligo lesion in the right upper back portion of the body ten years after the initial vitiligo lesion.

Özet

Vitiligo nedeni tam olarak bilinmeyen, genetik ve genetik olmayan faktörlerin birlikte rol oynadığı edinsel bir bozukluktur. Bu hastalıkta tutulan deride melanositler ortadan kalkar, klinik olarak depigmente makül ve yamalar belirir. Becker nevüs (BN) sıklıkla unilateral dağılım gösteren, keskin ama düzensiz sınırlı hiperpigmente makül, yama veya verrüköz plakların izlendiği, üzerinde değişik derecelerde hipertrikozun bulunduğu bir hastalıktır. Patogenezi belli olmamakla birlikte hamartamatöz bir lezyon olduğu ve üzerinde androjen reseptörlerinin arttığı ileri sürülmektedir. Biz burada; önce vitiligo lezyonları, on yıl sonra ise vitiligo lezyonuna komşu, gövde arka üst sağ alanda BN lezyonu ortaya çıkan on dokuz yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.
