ABSTRACT
Progressive macular hypomelanosis is an idiopathic acquired hypopigmentary disorder first described in 1988. The disorder is characterized by ill-defined, non-scaly, round to oval, hypopigmented patches symmetrically localized on the trunk. No clinical symptoms have been observed. Currently, diagnosis is made on clinical grounds and any histological, laboratory investigations are not diagnostic. This disorder does not respond to conventional treatment and its clinical course is variable. We experienced a case of progressive macular hypomelanosis that was successfully treated with narrow band UVB phototherapy.
