RESUMEN
El vitíligo es el trastorno despigmentante adquirido más frecuente, con una prevalencia mundial del 0.5-2%. Su mayor incidencia se produce entre los 10 y 30 años. Se asocia a trastornos tiroideos autoinmunes con presencia de anticuerpos antitiroperoxidasa hasta en un 20%. Se presenta el caso de masculino de 15 años de edad, diagnosticado con vitíligo a los 10 años de edad con seguimiento por dermatología, actualmente en tratamiento. El paciente se encuentra en seguimiento médico por obesidad. Se ha descrito asociación positiva entre vitiligo y tiroiditis autoinmune, duplicando el riesgo a los cinco años de diagnóstico concomitante a patología autoinmune previa. Teniendo en cuenta que el vitiligo precede generalmente al inicio de la disfunción tiroidea, el seguimiento periódico de pacientes con vitiligo es de gran importancia.
ABSTRACT
Vitiligo is the most common acquired depigmentation disorder with a worldwide prevalence from 0.5 to 2%. It is highest incidence occurs between the ages of 10 to 30 years old. Frequently, it is associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders and related to the presence of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in 20% of the times. We present the case of 15 years old male, diagnosed with vitiligo at 10 years old with currently dermatology follow up under treatment. The patient is in medical monitoring due to obesity. It has been described an association between Vitiligo and Thyroiditis, doubling the risk of presence in five years from the concomitant diagnose to a previous autoimmune pathology. Considering that vitiligo usually precedes the onset of thyroid dysfunction, periodic monitoring in patients with this disorder it is of great importance.
