“…An association between onychodystrophy and vitiligo with alopecia areata is also established [Christianson et al, 1956;Lerner, 1961;Demis and Weiner, 1963], Endocrine dysfunction which sometimes accompanies the vitiligo-alopecia areata complex [Lerner, 1959;Bor et ah, 1969] has been claimed to cause such nail changes via disturbance of the keratin formation. The present case does not support this hypothesis since clinical and endocrinologic evaluation failed to reveal hormonal imbalance.…”

“…Several authors have drawn attention to the association of vitiligo with other skin diseases such as alopecia areata [Lerner, 1961;Demis and Weiner, 1963;Fields et at., 1971;Calm, 1974]; scleroderma [Christianson et at., 1956;Tuffanelli and Winkelmann, 1961;Lerner and Sansing, 1973], and certain autoimmune diseases [Lerner, 1959;Bor et ah, 1969], This report deals with a 39-year-old patient who exhibits unique coincidence of five dermatological disorders: vitiligo, alopecia areata, onychodystrophy, lichen planus and widespread, localized scleroderma of uncommon morphology.…”

The unique coincidence of five dermatological disorders, which occurred in a 39-year-old patient, is discussed. The clinical and laboratory examination did not reveal a common underlying cause. It is hoped this report will stimulate the recognition of other cases and thus aid in determining whether the coincidence of these disorders is a true association of diseases with a common underlying factor or a rare abnormality.
