Abstract

Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are rare disorders characterized by auto‐destruction of endocrine and non‐endocrine organs by organ‐specific antibody‐directed T‐lymphocytic infiltration. This case highlights a 29‐year‐old Caucasian man with vitiligo found to have significant neurological abnormalities in the setting of newly diagnosed pernicious anemia and thyroid autoimmune disease.
