Bullous Pemphigoid Associated with Silicosis

Abstract

An 87-year-old man presented with multiple erythemas accompanied by itching on bilateral axillae, groins and buttocks for 3 months, which aggravated with blisters and bullae for 1 month. The physical examination revealed multiple tense blisters and bullae with erosions and light yellow effusion (Fig. 1a). The histopathological examination of the tissue biopsy showed a subepidermal blister with little inflammatory infiltrate (Fig. 1b).
