Abstract EN
Rarely cases have been reported regarding depigmented lesions of the oral cavity.
On reviewing the literature, only few cases of gingival vitiligo or similar lesions have been reported till date.
These lesions pose a cosmetic challenge.
We present here a case of vitiligo affecting gingiva.
Vitiligo has been defined as an acquired, slowly progressive loss of cutaneous pigment which occurs as irregular, sharply defined patches which may or may not be surrounded by macroscopic hyperpigmentation.
Differential diagnosis, detailed clinical history, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and pathogenesis of this condition are discussed.
