Repigmentation of segmental vitiligo by autologous minigrafting.
Segmental vitiligo (SV) shows distinct clinical, physiologic, and therapeutic characteristics as opposed to those seen in generalized vitiligo (GV). Three patients affected with SV, a relatively unresponsive dermatosis, were successfully repigmented by autologous minigrafting. The achieved results demonstrate a new therapeutic approach for SV.
