We study the Hamiltonian describing two anyons moving in a plane in presence of an external magnetic field and identify a one-parameter family of self-adjoint realizations of the corresponding Schr\"{o}dinger operator. We also discuss the associated model describing a quantum particle immersed in a magnetic field with a local Aharonov-Bohm singularity. For a special class of magnetic potentials, we provide a complete classification of all possible self-adjoint extensions.
