Abstract
The first case of psoriasis accompanied by vitiligo was described by Selenyi in 1955 [1] and since then reports in both ways have drawn attention to this association. Although not rare, the pathogenic mechanism that can explain the coexistence of vitiligo and psoriasis remains not fully understood.
