“…Both diseases have been frequently described in association with other autoimmune and endocrinologic diseases ( Tables 1 and 2). Furthermore, concurrence of both diseases in the same patient is not uncommon and it has often been reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6] (Table 3). Nevertheless, anatomical coincidence of both diseases has rarely been reported.…”

“…Several autoimmune disorders such as thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus, bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, lichen planus or pernicious anaemia, have been reported to occur more frequently in patients with both disorders [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The immune-pathologic basis in these conditions relies on singular and interactive functions of antibodies, T cells, self antigens and organ specificity [10].…”

“…Both AA and vitiligo are common skin and hair disorders in general population and coincidence of these two diseases is thus to be expected [2][3][4][5][6]. Nevertheless, anatomical coexistence of both conditions had rarely been reported [2,3].…”

Alopecia areata (AA) and vitiligo are two common disorders in general population and coincidence of these two diseases is thus to be expected. However, anatomical coexistence of both conditions had rarely been reported. Many different etiological hypotheses have been suggested for both diseases. While alopecia areata is considered a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease, in the pathogenesis of vitiligo, both T cells and autoantibodies may play a role. Here we report a case which supports the hypothesis that vitiligo-induced autoimmunity could trigger AA and bulb melanocytes could act as a possible target in AA.We report the case of a 53-year-old woman which was referred to Dermatology Department for treatment of AA. Twenty years previously, she had developed areas of vitiligo on the face and arms which remained stable for years. She presented with a 1-year history of alopecia on the scalp, with a loss of skin and hair color in the same location during this period. In our case, the chronological appearance, association and co-localization of vitiligo and AA could emphasize the hypothesis that melanocytes-derived antigens released during vitiligo pathogenesis could act as auto-antigens, inducing hair loss.

“…The pathogenic mechanism for this coexistence is not completely clear and there have been only few cases reported in the literature. 4 Vitiligo based on distribution pattern may be generalized, localized or universal. Generalized type of vitiligo includes segmental, vulgaris and mixed types.…”

“…1 Although immunologic phenomena is considered in the pathophysiology of both diseases, their coexistence is unusual. 2,4 The first case of psoriasis with vitiligo was reported by Selenyi in 1955. 3 These coexistence are often thought to be associated with underlying autoimmune conditions.…”

Coexistence of vitiligo and psoriasis in a single patient is a rare occurrence. The exact pathogenesis of this coexistence is obscure. Various autoimmune disorders are reported to occur more frequently in patients with both diseases. A case of this interesting coexistence seen on a 26 year old female patient who presented to the dermatology department of Dhulikhel hospital is presented here. She also had hypothyroidism. The possible pathogenesis and literature review of this rare condition is discussed here.
