Vitiligo is an acquired chronic dermatological disease characterized by well-delineated, depigmented macules. Its pathogenesis is mostly considered autoimmune and this pigmentary disorder is strongly associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders. Such close association seems to be the result of a complex pathogenesis sustained by shared genetic, autoimmune, inflammatory and pro-oxidative factors. Hence, according to recent clinical, epidemiological and experimental findings, a regular thyroid screening is recommended in individuals affected by vitiligo.

Abstract

Vitiligo is an acquired chronic dermatological disease characterized by well-delineated, depigmented macules. Its pathogenesis is mostly considered autoimmune and this pigmentary disorder is strongly associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders. Such close association seems to be the result of a complex pathogenesis sustained by shared genetic, autoimmune, inflammatory and pro-oxidative factors. Hence, according to recent clinical, epidemiological and experimental findings, a regular thyroid screening is recommended in individuals affected by vitiligo.
