Among the cases yet published of development of vitiligo after BMT, only two can claim as possible adoptive transfer of such disease. We report a case of a patient with sickle cell disease in whom vitiligo developed after allogeneic BMT from his HLA identical father affected by vitiligo. We reviewed and searched for some particularities in the reported cases of post‐BMT vitiligo.
