Two patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma, vitiligo, and uveitis are described. The occurrence of vitiligo following cutaneous melanoma is not uncommon and has been interpreted to result from cellular and humoral factors directed against melanoma cells that also destroy normal cutaneous melanocytes. The present cases raise the possibility that melanocytes in the eye as well as the skin may be affected.
本文描述了两名患有皮肤恶性黑色素瘤、白癜风和葡萄膜炎的患者。皮肤黑色素瘤后出现白癜风并不罕见，其被解释为是由针对黑色素瘤细胞的细胞和体液因素导致的，这些因素也会破坏正常的皮肤黑素细胞。目前的病例提示，眼睛以及皮肤中的黑素细胞可能都会受到影响。
