Vitiligo and psoriasis are commonly seen in the dermatology clinic; yet, despite their high prevalence, it is infrequent to find them together in the same patient. We report three cases exhibiting this situation and we do a literature review regarding common pathophysiologic aspects that could generate the coexistence of these entities.
