Abstract
Dear Editor: Nevus depigmentosus (ND) is a common depigmented nevus which manifests as well-circumscribed hypopigmented patch. Though the pathogenesis of ND is not fully understood, the number of melanocytes and amount of melanin are decreased in ND lesion compared to uninvolved normal skin. It is generally known to be stable in its relative size and distribution, though there is no long-term follow-up study yet. In the present study, therefore, we sought to reveal the natural history of ND with long-term follow-up.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Dermatology (Ann Dermatol) is the official peer-reviewed publication of the Korean Dermatological Association and the Korean Society for Investigative Dermatology. Since 1989, Ann Dermatol has contributed as a platform for communicating the latest research outcome and recent trend of dermatology in Korea and all over the world.
Ann Dermatol seeks for ameliorated understanding of skin and skin-related disease for clinicians and researchers. Ann Dermatol deals with diverse skin-related topics from laboratory investigations to clinical outcomes and invites review articles, original articles, case reports, brief reports and items of correspondence. Ann Dermatol is interested in contributions from all countries in which good and advanced research is carried out. Ann Dermatol willingly recruits well-organized and significant manuscripts with proper scope throughout the world.
