Summary

The authors report 2 cases of atypical vitiligo in which they observed 1) “cockade-like” lesions resembling those of “trichrome” vitiligo (from the centre to the periphery, achromic area, hypochromic ring, normal or hyperchromic border), 2) numerous linear achromic lesions corresponding to former excoriations (Koebner's phenomenon, isomorphic phenomenon). Related affections are discussed with reference to these cases: the trichrome vitiligo described by Lerner and Fitzpatrick, and the primary leukomelanodermas described in black patients by Basset and by Sarrat and Nouhouayi.

Zusammenfassung

Schilderung von zwei atypischen Vitiligo-Beobachtungen in Form 1) von “Kokarden-Bildern”, verwandt mit der trichromen Vitiligo (vom Zentrum her gegen die Peripherie achromische Zone, hypochromischer Ring, der äußere Rand hyperchromisch oder normal gefärbt) 2) von zahlreichen linearen Achromasien, die auf Grund von Spuren von Hautabschürfungen zustande gekommen sind (Koebner-Phänomen, isomorphes Phänomen). Auf Grund dieser Beobachtungen wurden ähnliche Zustände behandelt: die trichrome Vitiligo von Lerner und Fitzpatrick, und die bei Schwarzen von Basset und von Sarrat u. Nouhouayi beschriebenen primären Leuko-Melanodermien.
