title: Repigmentation of segmental vitiligo by autologous minigrafting.
abstract: 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.
