Abstract EN
Malignant melanoma is the first fatal skin cancer.
Vitiligo is a leukoderma or a multifactorial depigmentation acquired but especially of autoimmune origin.
We report the first Malagasy case affected by both melanoma and Vitiligo.
The appearance of Vitiligo during a melanoma could testify to an immunological response against melanocytes.
Despite the association of melanoma and Vitiligo, the prognosis of melanoma is still fatal.
