Unusual Familial Hypopigmentary Anomaly Abstract A hitherto unreported bilateral and symmetrical hypopigmentary anomaly is reported in five members of a Negro family.

The pattern of inheritance would appear to be autosomal dominant and it is concluded that this is a benign pigmentary alteration unrelated to underlying disease. References 1. Cockayne, E.
