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.
白癜风和银屑病在同一患者体内共存的情况较为罕见。这种共存的确切发病机制尚不清楚。据报道，各种自身免疫性疾病在同时患有这两种疾病的患者中更为常见。本文介绍了一例在杜利凯尔医院皮肤科就诊的26岁女性患者出现这种有趣共存情况的病例。她还患有甲状腺功能减退症。本文讨论了这种罕见病症可能的发病机制及文献综述。
