Resident memory T cell contributes to the phenotype of inflammatory vitiligo

Inflammatory vitiligo, also known as vitiligo with inflammatory raised borders, is a rare form of vitiligo; its incidence is reported to be 0.5% of all vitiligo cases [1]. This type of vitiligo is thought to be one of the markers of the active progressive phase of the disease [2]. However, the aetiology of this condition is poorly understood. Here, we report two distinct cases of inflammatory vitiligo and provide new insights into its development.
