Abstract

Vitiligo and psoriasis are both common disorders. However, psoriasis and vitiligo occuring contemporaneously in the same patient is rare. The etiology of the coincidence remains uncertain, although possibility of a Koebner-like phenomenon has been proposed. Herein we report four cases of vitiligo coexistent with psoriasis and review of the literature. (Turkish Journal of Dermatology 2009; 3: 22-4).
