We report a patient with unilateral lentiginosis and ipsilateral nevus depigmentosus. She had no other cutaneous or extracutaneous abnormalities. The coexistence of segmental lentiginosis and nevus depigmentosus may be explained as a twin-spot phenomenon.

Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: The autologous non-cultured melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation procedure (MKTP) has emerged as an effective treatment for various types of vitiligo and leukodermas. However, there is limited data on the long-term outcomes of the MKTP, especially in Thai patients.
Objective: To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of the MKTP in patients with vitiligo and other leukodermas.

Article Synopsis
- Diagnosis of cutaneous hypopigmentation can be challenging, but dermoscopy shows promise in distinguishing between various conditions like vitiligo and pityriasis alba.
- The study evaluated 168 patients to identify dermoscopic features unique to different hypopigmented conditions and assessed their diagnostic accuracy.
- Key findings included that certain patterns like starburst and micro-koebnerization are specific to vitiligo, while other conditions exhibited different patterns; overall, dermoscopy was most effective for conditions such as nevus depigmentosus and pityriasis alba, showing high sensitivity rates.

Background: Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) has quickly transitioned from a research tool to an adjunct diagnostic bedside tool, providing the opportunity for noninvasive evaluation of skin lesions with histologic resolution. RCM is an optical imaging technique that uses near-infrared excitation wavelengths and safe low-power lasers. En-face images of different skin layers (up to the superficial dermis) are acquired in grayscale based on the reflective indices of tissue components.
