Vitiligo as a Post-Bone Marrow Transplantation Complication

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition in which T cells recognize and destroy melanocytes. We present a case of a 20-year-old male who developed generalized vitiligo 4 years after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for Fanconi anemia. Although other autoimmune conditions have been well characterized as post-BMT complications, vitiligo is very rare. We review the 9 previously reported cases of post-BMT vitiligo.
