  ABSTRACT: Background: Progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation (PCZH) is a disorder of pigmentation. Although several cases of PCZH have been reported, cases that associated with vitiligo have not been published in the past. Aim: We report the case to reveal the interesting mosaicism reflecting on the skin. Case Presentation: This case presents a phenomenon of the coexistence of hyperpigmentation and depigmentation arranged in unilateral and symmetric distribution in one patient. Conclusion: The aetiology of the pigmental disorders is still unknown. The linear nature of the pigmented bands probably reflects the clonal migration and proliferation of embryonic melanoblasts, so somatic mosaicism that develops during embryogenesis appears to be the underlying aetiology, which is leading to proliferation and migration of two mixed populations of melanocytes with different potential for pigment production.
