Piebaldism is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of melanocyte development. Common characteristics include a congenital white forelock scattered normal pigmented and hypopigmented macules and a triangular shaped depigmented patch on the forehead.Although piebaldism may visually appear to be partial albinism it is a fundamentally different condition. The vision problems associated with albinism are not usually present as eye pigmentation is normal.
