Abstract

Modern data on classification of vitiligo are presented. The following types are distinguished: nonsegmental vitiligo (NSV) with the focus beyond one segment, with symmetrical bilateral location; segmental vitiligo (SV) with the focus within one segment with unilateral location; mixed vitiligo with a combination of the segmental and nonsegmental types; and an unclassified type. Based on this classification, the authors describe the characteristic intrinsic features of these vitiligo types from pathophysiological and clinical viewpoints, in order to promote the development of different approaches to therapy of this disease.
