Vitiligo is an acquired, idiopathic depigmentary disease resisting satisfactory repigmentation despite multimodal therapy. Based on the concept of activation of the existing undifferentiated stem cells in the outer root sheet of the hair follicles, follicular unit extraction (FUE) transplant is an interesting advancement in the field of minimally invasive surgery for vitiligo. We herein present three cases of vitiligo whose residual recalcitrant foci as well as poliosis - refractory to therapy including with previous nonculture melanocyte-keratinocyte transplant - repigmented satisfactorily after FUE transplant.
白癜风是一种获得性、特发性色素脱失性疾病,尽管采用了多模式治疗,但仍难以实现令人满意的色素再生。基于激活毛囊外根鞘中现存未分化干细胞的概念,毛囊单位提取(FUE)移植是白癜风微创手术领域一项有趣的进展。我们在此报告三例白癜风病例,其残留的顽固病灶以及对包括先前非培养黑素细胞-角质形成细胞移植在内的治疗均无效的白发,在FUE移植后色素再生情况令人满意。
