Morphea and vitiligo-A very uncommon association
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphea represents a localized form of scleroderma where there is predominant skin involvement, with occasional involvement of subjacent muscles. However, it usually spares the internal organs [1]. Morphea has been associated with several autoimmune diseases like mixed connective tissue disease, dermatomyositis, pemphigus, myasthenia gravis, bullous pemphigoid, systemic sclerosis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, etc [2,3]. The association of morphea with vitiligo has been rarely reported. In this article we report a 29 year female with concomitant vitiligo and plaque type morphea over her lower back.
