BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of various new methods to treat vitiligo, surgical methods offer rapid, simple, and safe ways for treating small-sized vitiligo. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy in treating vitiligo using suction blister epidermal grafting (SBEG) combined with CO2 laser epidermal ablation. METHODS: Forty patients with small, stable vitiligo were treated using SBEG combined with CO2 laser epidermal ablation and followed up for at least 6 months and up to 10 years. RESULTS: Treatment outcomes were excellent for 32 patients (80%), good for four patients (10%), fair for three patients (7.5%), and poor for one patient (2.5%). No scar formation was observed in any patients. Location of the lesions was probably the most important factor in determining the outcomes of transplantation. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that SBEG combined with CO2 laser ablation is a rapid, simple, and safe method to treat vitiligo, especially for patients with small and stable vitiliginous lesions.

Connective tissue nevi of collagen type are now classified in four major subtypes. In addition to the clinicopathological features of papulolinear collagenoma, which is considered as a variant of isolated collagen harmatoma, the case we present has a unique arborizing pattern.
