Strict anatomical co-existence and co-localization of vitiligo and psoriasis - a rare entity
By: N Puri, T Kaur and B B Mahajan
Abstract
We describe a case report of a 58-year old female patient who developed typical psoriatic 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.
