摘要
Background: Today, no proven significant association was detected between sun-exposed vitiliginous patches and non-melanotic skin cancers. In fact, the occurrence of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in vitiliginous patches seems to be extremely rare. Case report: We present a case of a 33-year-old female patient suffering from BCC in a vitiliginous patch on the cheek. This is the first report of the occurrence of a sclerodermiform type of BCC in a vitiliginous macula. Conclusion: Our case report challenges the long-standing belief that the occurrence of BCC in vitiligo is nearly impossible. However, even if this association is apparently fortuitous, our report contributes to the awareness of the risk of BCC in young patients with vitiligo. © 2010 The Author(s).
