摘要：
A 10-year-old boy was referred to our outpatient clinic with a 2-year history of vitiligo minimally responsive to topical corticosteroids and phototherapy. Low dose oral corticosteroids were prescribed in combination with sessions of microneedling and 5-fluourouracil 5% cream applied immediately after needling on a monthly basis. Repigmentation was initially noted after the first cycle at week 4. After 3 sessions of treatment (week 16), the patient showed a complete repigmentation of the knees.
