Abstract
A 13-year-old male presented with diffuse hyperpigmentation and spotted hypopigmentation (Figs. 45.1, 45.2, and 45.3). The lesions appeared initially on his trunk at the age of 2-month-old. The hyperpigmentation had progressively extended over the years to involve the entire body. He did not have photosensitivity or history of extensive sun exposure, inflammatory skin disease or systemic illness prior to the onset of the lesions. His mental state and developmental milestones were normal. The systemic examination was normal. The hair, teeth, nails, palms, soles, and mucous membranes were normal-looking. The hearing was also normal. He was born to non-consanguineous parents, and there were no family members with similar disease.
