ABSTRACT

Vitiligo and psoriasis are chronic skin disorders with a world prevalence of 2% and 3%, respectively. In 1982 Koransky and Roenigk reported 25 vitiligo cases associated to psoriasis. In the great majority of the cases vitiligo preceded the onset of psoriasis. We report a 44 year-old male patient with a 17 years history of psoriasis before the onset of vitiligo, and coexistence of some of both typical lesions. We discuss epidemiology, clinical features and different physiopathological theories.
