'''Piebaldism''' is a rare [[Mendelian inheritance|autosomal dominant]] disorder of [[melanocyte]] development. Common characteristics include a congenital white forelock, scattered normal pigmented and hyperpigmented [[macule|macules]] and a triangular shaped depigmented patch on the forehead.
Although piebaldism can be classed as partial [[albinism]] the vision problems associated with albinism are not usually present as eye pigmentation is normal.
