A case of psoriasis on vitiliginous areas

Biz, vitiligo alanı üzerinde gelişmiş bir psöriazis olgusu sunmaktayız. Psöriatik lezyonlarda melanosit yokluğu, vitiligolu alanlar dışındaki normal deride psöriatik lezyonların olmaması ve psöriaziste ultraviyolenin etkinliği; melanositlerin, psöriaziste epidermal regülasyonda rol oynayabileceğini düşündürmektedir.

Vitiligolu alan üzerinde gelişen bir psöriazis olgusu

We present a case of psoriasis on vitiliginous areas. The loss of melanocytes on psoriatic lesions, any psoriatic lesions on normal skin in our patient with vitiligo, and the effectiveness of ultraviolet light on psoriasis indicated that melanocyte may play a role in epidermal regulation in psoriasis.
