摘要
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease of the colorectal region which may be complicated by extraintestinal manifestations, as cutaneous involvement. Immune dysregulation resulting in a lymphocyte mediated destructive process has been suggested as a possible pathogenetic link between gut and skin-related manifestations. The authors describe an atypical clinical aspect of lichen ruber planus in a patient affected by vitiligo, alopecia areata and ulcerative colitis.
