“…[2][3][4][5] However, in studies involving series of patients, psoriasis occurred on vitiliginous patches and normal skin with equal frequency. [11][12][13] Similarly, our results also emphasize the fact that psoriasis need not selectively involve vitiliginous areas. Various autoimmune disorders have been reported to occur more frequently in patients with both psoriasis and vitiligo.…”

“…Various autoimmune disorders have been reported to occur more frequently in patients with both psoriasis and vitiligo. [11][12][13][14] However, we did not find any increased number of associated autoimmune disorders. None of our patients had arthritis, which is in contrast to earlier series where arthritis was found in 33% of these patients.…”

“…In 1898 Hallopeau and Gasne described postinflammatory hypopigmentation following the resolution of psoriatic plaques 2 . There have been several reports suggesting an association between chronic plaque psoriasis and vitiligo and in some patients they colocalize 3,4 . However, in our patients the plaques did not develop into vitiligo and we presume that the melanocytes within the lentigines were selectively destroyed by the psoriatic process.…”

Vitiligo and psoriasis are common dermatoses that occur in 1∼3% and 0.5% of the general population, respectively. There have been several reports of the concurrence of these diseases in the English medical literature. Yet the pathogenesis of the association between these two dermatoses is still unknown. Psoriasis may occur coincidentally with vitiligo and it may be strictly confined to the vitiliginous patches or it may occur elsewhere. Despite the reports in the English literature, there has been only one case of vitiligo and psoriasis coexisting in the same patient and these diseases occurred in separate sites in the Korean dermatologic literature. A 30-year-old man recently presented with spreading vitiligo on the right forearm and a 3-month history of guttate psoriasis on the left forearm. He had a family history of psoriasis without any history of associated autoimmune disease. Herein, we report on a case of coexisting vitiligo and psoriasis in the same individual at different sites and we review the relevant literature.
