Coincidence of vitiligo, alopecia areata, onychodystrophy, localized scleroderma and lichen planus

Dermatologica. 1979;159(4):356-60. doi: 10.1159/000250627.

Abstract

The unique coincidence of five dermatological disorders, which occurred in a 39-year-old patient, is discussed. The clinical and laboratory examination did not reveal a common underlying cause. It is hoped this report will stimulate the recognition of other cases and thus aid in determining whether the coincidence of these disorders is a true association of diseases with a common underlying factor or a rare abnormality.
