ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 59-year-old woman who simultaneously suffered from psoriasis and vitiligo. The depigmented areas were predominantly but not exclusively limited to current or former psoriatic plaques. These two diseases share many common features, e. g., both are Tcell-mediated autoimmune diseases in which the Koebner phenomenon occurs. However, it is still not known whether the coincidence is random or significant. Prospective clinical and epidemiological research will hopefully reveal the association soon.
