ABSTRACT
Type 3 polyendocrine autoimmune syndrome (PAS) is defined as the association between
an autoimmune thyroid disease and 1 or more other autoimmune diseases, except for
autoimmune Addison disease or hypoparathyroidism. Here we report an extremely rare
case of type 3 PAS in which vitiligo vulgaris and symptomless autoimmune hypothyroidism
were observed during the study of primary hyperaldosteronism.
