Mixed vitiligo case series highlights coexisting segmental and generalized forms lacking formal classification.
Case Report (n=4)
BACKGROUND: There are two commonly recognized forms of vitiligo-generalized and localized. This classification is important to understand the course of the disease and its prognosis. Most patients have generalized vitiligo; few patients have both segmented and generalized vitiligo. OBSERVATION: We report four more cases of mixed vtiligo, segmental with generalized type. This report is only the second to present a case of segmental with generalized vitiligo. CONCLUSION: Mixed vitiligo is not yet part of a standard classification. Its etiology is not yet fully defined. Further research is required to understand the course and prognosis of mixed vitiligo.

Mulekar et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Mixed vitiligo (segmental with generalized type) (n=4). Mixed vitiligo was evaluated. Four cases of mixed vitiligo (segmental with generalized type) were described, highlighting a clinical presentation that is not yet part of standard classification.
