“…However, limited study focused on the treatment of NAC vitiligo, and few methods of NAC repigmentation were proven to be effective. Horch et al reported a successful case of areolar skin repigmentation by contralateral full‐thickness skin grafting 13 . But this method is limited to unilateral small lesions and leads to a significant areolar scar after surgery.…”

Background Nipple‐areola complex is a naturally hyperpigmented skin area which can be involved in vitiligo. But limited study focused on the treatment of nipple‐areola complex vitiligo, and few methods were proven to be effective. In this study, we aimed to explore the feasibility and efficacy of ReCell® on vitiligo in the nipple‐areola complex area. Methods Medical records of patients with vitiligo involving nipple‐areola complex and underwent ReCell® treatment from October 2016 to April 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The repigmentation rate of the nipple‐areola complex and other breast area were calculated under the Wood's light at each follow‐up. The grade of repigmentation and patient‐reported satisfaction rate were also evaluated to prove the effect of ReCell® on vitiligo of breast and especially in the nipple‐areola complex area. Results A total of 18 patients were included in this study. No surgical complications were reported. The mean postoperative repigmentation rate in the nipple‐areola complex area (3rd‐month, 78.7 ± 5.8%; 6th‐month, 87.6 ± 5.1%; and 12th‐month, 96.1 ± 3.5%) was significantly higher than that in the other breast treatment area (3rd‐month, 70.4 ± 6.9%; 6th‐month, 84.2 ± 5.7%, and 12th‐month, 93.2 ± 3.6%). All patients showed good or excellent grades at the last follow‐up, and 94.4% of them considered the overall treatment results satisfactory. Conclusions ReCell® is a feasible and efficient treatment strategy in the nipple‐areola complex vitiligo.

Various surgical methods have been used in the treatment of small stable vitiliginous areas, but there is no established surgical approach for larger vitiligo areas and therapy-resistant anatomic sites, such as the hands. Two years ago, we successfully treated large burn scar depigmentation areas at different anatomic sites using carbon dioxide laser resurfacing and thin (0.2 to 0.3 mm) skin grafting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of our method in treating large, stable, and recalcitrant vitiligo areas. Thirteen anatomic sites of seven male patients, whose ages ranged from 20 to 22 years, were treated. The locations of the treated areas were as follows: seven areas on the dorsum of the hands, two areas on the forearms, two areas in the pretibial region, one area on the lateral thigh, and one area in the presternal region. The surface area of treated vitiligo sites ranged from 0.5 to 6 percent of total body surface area (mean, 2.5 percent). Skin graft take was excellent in all patients except for one. The follow-up period for these patients ranged from 6 to 18 months, with an average follow-up period of 14 months. Early and complete repigmentation was achieved and the color match was good or excellent in all patients. No depigmentation occurred again in the treated areas or graft donor sites. In conclusion, with careful patient selection and delicate surgical technique, our method was effective in treating large areas of vitiligo over the extremities and dorsum of hands, which were refractory to other therapies and could not be hidden.
