Abstract

Depigmented lesions of the oral cavity have been rarely reported. Vitiligo has been defined as an acquired, slowly progressive loss of cutaneous pigment which occurs as irregular, sharply defined patches which may or may not be surrounded by macroscopic hyperpigmentation. Though vitiligo is a common condition affecting the skin having global a prevalence of 0.5%-2% the same affecting the oral mucosal tissue is a rare scenario. Literature review yields only a dearth of cases of oral vitiligo until now. Here we report a case of oral vitiligo involving the entire oral mucosal tissues with anaemic stomatitis. This case is unique as it had entire oral mucosal involvement and the skin involvement being minimal.
