Case Report Bullous Pemphigoid with Esophageal Involvement
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common chronic acquired bullous dermatosis that affects mainly elderly subjects. This condition is characterized by the presence of antibodies directed against the dermal-epidermal junction. It invades the skin and generally respects the other mucous membranes. The discovery of bullae in the esophageal mucosa is exceptional. We report an observation of PB with esophageal bullosis discovered in a 47-year-old patient following acute dysphagia.
