ABSTRACT
Psoriasis vulgaris, a disorder of partially genetic origin, affects 1-3% of the general population. Vitiligo, generally considered an autoimmune disease, affects 0.5% of the general population. Despite the relatively common occurrence of each disease, the concurrence of each disease in a patient has been considered unusual. It is difficult to discern any particular relationship between vitiligo and psoriasis. Assuming that vitiligo and psoriasis are pathogenetically distinct and are grouped independently of each other. We report a case of psoriasis vulgaris associated with vitiligo in a 19-year-old man. Diagnosis was confirmed by clinical and histopathological findings. He is being treated with narrow band UVB phototherapy.
