A 43-year-old Hispanic woman came to our clinic for a routine vision check. The patient had no ocular history and no complaints. She had a medical history significant for diabetes and extensive vitiligo on both upper extremities (Figure 1). She denied any past episodes of uveitis and lacked characteristic sequelae on external and slitlamp examination. Her vision was 20/30 OU uncorrected.

Figure appears in full text version. Figure 1. Upper extremity of the patient showing cutaneous vitiligo.

Her fundus photographs (Figure 2) revealed significant and diffuse choroidal hypopigmentation bilaterally. The ragged leading edges of the color change in the choroid interestingly mirror the dermatologic changes seen in the patient's arms.

Figure appears in full text version. Figure 2. Mosaic fundus photographs of both eyes revealing a large, red-orange area of depigmentation at the posterior pole and extending toward the periphery (A, right eye; B, left eye).
