Abstract

patients with melanoma may develop vitiligo-like skin depigmentation referred to as melanoma-associated leukoderma (MAL), melanoma-associated hypopigmentation (MAH), melanoma-associated depigmentation (MAD) or melanoma-associated vitiligo (MAV) 1-3. Many dermatologists are not aware of the diagnosis MAL and may easily diagnose and treat these patients as having non-segmental vitiligo, thereby overlooking the underlying (metastatic) melanoma. At present, the prevalence of MAL and its clinical characteristics are not well established. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
