“…Palmoplantar freckles and melanocytic nevi occur in a significant number of subjects with this form of the disease. 260 Experimentally, if minor trauma is applied to non-lesional vitiligo skin, melanocytes become detached and undergo transepidermal elimination. In 16% of cases there was some melanin in the basal layer with the Masson-Fontana stain.…”

Vitiligo is a disorder that causes the destruction of melanocytes. It has three important factors underlying this destruction. The depigmented skin has many aberrant functions such as a muted response to contact allergens, a phenomenon also seen in mice that depigment. The white skin of those with vitiligo does not form non-melanoma skin cancers although the white skin of albinos, which has a similar color as vitiligo, is highly susceptible to skin cancer.

“…[ 2 ] However, reported cases of skin cancer occurring in long-lasting vitiligo are rare, and only seven such cases have been reported. [ 3 4 5 ] An association with skin cancer, particularly nonmelanoma skin carcinoma (NMSC), has so far not been established and remains a subject of controversy. Numerous BCCs concomitant with SCCs in a vitiligo patient are exceptional.…”

Concurrence of multiple cutaneous malignancies on sun-exposed vitiligo skin of a patient: A case report and review of the literature

There are very few published studies in the literature examining the association between vitiligo and skin cancers and only some anecdotal reports about phototherapy-associated nonmelanoma skin carcinoma (NMSC) in patients with vitiligo. Herein, we report a case of an 84-year-old male with widespread vitiligo with concurrent onset of two primary cutaneous malignancies in sun-exposed vitiligo skin. The association between vitiligo and NMSC deserves further assessment. Chronic sun damage might be a possible causative factor for the development of NMSC in the vitiligo patient.
