Linear morphea and segmental vitiligo are both autoimmune diseases that are observed in the pediatric population, with rare reports of their co-existence. We describe a case of linear morphea and segmental vitiligo with an overlapping distribution in a pediatric patient and review the literature. Including our own case, we summarize 10 cases of co-occurring segmental vitiligo and morphea in pediatric patients; most of these lesions follow a blaschkolinear distribution, and none of the patients had autoimmune thyroid disease. Although uncommon, the coexistence of segmental vitiligo and linear morphea within lines of Blaschko can occur, and this case suggests that linear morphea and segmental vitiligo may be disorders related to genetic mosaicism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
