The objective of this study is to describe the clinical and histologic features of a dog that developed anterior uveitis and uveal depigmentation in association with vitiligo. A 3-year-old, female-spayed, Bernese Mountain Dog with a history of bilateral idiopathic anterior uveitis developed iris depigmentation, leukotrichia, and skin depigmentation. The initial diagnostic evaluation for uveitis was unremarkable, including general bloodwork, urinalysis, infectious disease testing, thoracic radiographs, and abdominal ultrasound.

A case of familial progressive hyperpigmentation with or without hypopigmentation presenting with hypopigmented striae along the lines of Blaschko.
J Dermatol
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Familial progressive hyperpigmentation with or without hypopigmentation (FPHH) is an autosomal dominant skin disorder caused by mutations in the KITLG gene, leading to widespread hyperpigmentation and distinct skin lesions.
- A unique case study identified a new KITLG mutation (Ser78Leu) in a patient, revealing multiple hypopigmented macules and striae that follow specific skin patterns.
- Genetic analysis suggested that these hypopigmented areas may arise from revertant mosaicism, contrasting with café-au-lait spots, which have a different formation process.

Article Synopsis
- Diffuse hyperpigmentation with guttate hypopigmentation (DHGH) is a newly identified skin disorder, primarily reported in Chinese females ages 6 to 24, characterized by hypopigmented spots on areas of diffuse hyperpigmentation.
- A detailed study analyzed nine cases, revealing distinct clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features, including blurred pigmented patches and abnormal epidermal pigment.
- DHGH is poorly understood, with unclear causes and mechanisms, suggesting that it might be more common than previously thought and requiring further research for better recognition and treatment.
