Strict anatomical co existence and colocalization of vitiligo and psoriasis – a rare entity
The coexistence of psoriasis and vitiligo is rare. We describe a case report of a 58 year old female patient who developed typical psoraiatic plaques covering completely or partly the vitiliginous areas of her skin.

The coexistence of psoriasis and vitiligo is rare. We describe a case report of a 58 year old female patient who developed typical psoraiatic plaques covering completely or partly the vitiliginous areas of her skin. Her psoriasis was strictly limited to the vitiliginous patches with no involvement of the normal skin. Strict anatomical coexistence of both diseases is extremely rare and suggests a casual mechanism, possibly due to a koebner phenomenon but genetic and environmental factors may also be involved. |
