Halo Nevi and Vitiligo in Turner's Syndrome / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Turner's syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder caused by numeric and/or structural abnormalities of the X chromosome. It is characterized by a short stature, gonadal dysgenesis, and frequently by webbed neck, cubitus valgus, lymphedema, broad chest with wide spaced nipples, micrognathia, and brachimetacarpalia. Several cutaneous manifestations are associated with TS, including melanocytic nevi, hypertrophic scarring, and vitiligo. Rarely reported findings include hemangiomas, angiokeratomas, and halo nevi. We present a case of halo nevi and vitiligo in a 13-year-old girl with TS. To the best of our knowledge, halo nevi and vitiligo in TS has not been reported in the Korean literature.
