iebaldism is a rare disorder present at birth and inherited as
an autosomal dominant trait. It results from a mutation in
the c-kit proto-oncogene and is associated with a defect in the
migration and differentiation of melanoblasts from the neural
crest. We report a 15-year-old girl with both piebaldism and
neurofibromatosis type1 (NF1). Shepresentedwitha congenital
depigmented patch of the forehead, as well as acquired
white forelock, depigmentation of the medial eyebrows, and
depigmented patches of the legs. In addition, some café au lait
macules were observed at birth on the trunk and neck. To our
knowledge, the association of piebaldism and NF1 has been
described previously in at least six case reports. Awareness of
this rare association is relevant to ensure early diagnosis and
adequate follow-up for NF1.
