Abstract
Alopecia areata has been reported in association with various autoimmune diseases. Idiopathic primary hypophysitis is an organ specific autoimmune disease affecting the pituitary gland. We report a case of alopecia areata occurring in a patient of idiopathic primary hypophysitis. The constellation of the two diseases can be explained by autoimmunity, which is a major aetiologic factor in both diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such an association.
