Abstract

Halo nevi and Vitiligo are quite frequently occurring conditions with their prevalence being 1% and 2% respectively. The Halo nevus phenomenon is fairly common acquired hypo- or depigmentation around preexisting nevi. Vitiligo is an autoimmune-mediated depigmenting disease characterized by the gradual destruction of melanocytes. Halo nevi can manifest either as an isolated condition or along with vitiligo. Whether both are the same or different entities, remains questionable. We report a case of halo nevi with vitiligo, with the disappearance of vitiligo patches after the removal of halo nevi.

Keywords
