Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes loss of pigmentation, resulting in hypopigmented and depigmented patches on the skin. Vitiligo has been associated with many autoimmune conditions. A 27-year-old female with a history of vitiligo had a clinical presentation and laboratory studies that were consistent with incipient hypothyroidism. The relationship between vitiligo, hypothyroidism, and other autoimmune conditions is discussed.
