Abstract		A 37-year-old male patient with coexisting vitiligo and digitate parapsoriasis is described. Vitiligo was present for more than 40 years when parapsoriasis appeared. Immunohistochemical staining revealed in both biopsies taken from vitiliginous and parapsoriatic lesions multiple CD4+ lymphocytes in perivascular and periadnexal arrangement. A slight epidermotropism was also expressed. There were only a few CD8+ lymphocytes (without any epidermotropism) and no Cd19+ cells. On the basis of their observation and the study of the literature the authors concluded that an etiologic association of these two conditions was probable.
