Pilomatricoma or benign calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe is a benign appendageal tumour originating from primitive cells of the hair matrix. Perforation (transepidermal elimination), bullous or anetodermic cutaneous changes overlying pilomatricomas are rare events. In this report, we describe a case of pilomatricoma with bullous appearance or secondary anetoderma. The tumour was totally excis...

We describe a patient with a generalized bullous form of Fixed Drug Eruption (FDE) induced by bromhexine, a commonly used drug for respiratory symptoms. This is a rare association and generalized bullous FDE is also very rare. We emphasize the importance of patch tests in identifying the culprit drug.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an episodic, potentially fatal, multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of antinuclear antibodies especially to double stranded DNA. Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus is an extremely rare subset of lupus erythematosus. We report a 10-year-old boy with bullous SLE and nephrotic syndrome.

Vancomycin is the most frequent trigger of drug-induced linear IgA bullous dermatosis. We describe a fulminant case of linear IgA bullous dermatosis in a 74-year-old man who experienced skin sloughing of 90% of his body surface after receiving vancomycin.

background: a common human leukocyte antigen (hla) class ii allele, dqβ1*03:01, seems to be associated with bullous pemphigoid (bp) in caucasians whereas previous studies in other ethnic groups showed other hla class ii alleles as genetic predisposing factors for bp. objective: to investigate the association of hla class ii alleles and haplotypes with bp in iranian population. methods: fifty pa...

Orf is a rare viral zoonosis due to Parapoxvirus infection. Transmission humans occurs through contact with infected goats and sheep. It may be complicated by fever, lymphangitis, lymphadenopathy, bacterial infection, erythema multiforme. Only several cases of autoimmune bullous dermatoses have been described. Bullous pemphigoid secondary an orf was found in ten patients. Herein, we report one ...
