Vitiligo is probably an autoimmune disorder of the skin and is commonly associated with a number of known autoimmune endocrinopathies. We present a patient with vitiligo associated with diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroid disease. Further, we present evidence that vitiligo and autoimmune disorders coexist and discuss the interrelationship between vitiligo and autoimmune endocrine disorders.
