Piebaldism in children.

Piebaldism is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder of melanocyte development characterized by congenital poliosis and stable patches of leukoderma. Initially, these clinical features may be the presenting signs of various syndromes or associated diseases, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present the case of a 14-year-old adolescent girl with piebaldism, along with a review of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of this disease entity.
