Cicatricial pemphigoid: a diagnostic problem for the urologist

We describe a case of cicatricial pemphigoid, which is a chronic bullous disorder that predominantly involves mucous membranes. It can sometimes present to the urologist, with erosions, blisters or ulcers on the male or female genitalia, and can pose a diagnostic problem. The response to medical therapy can be rewarding. However, this can be a chronic debilitating and mutilating disease, and the differential diagnosis should be considered in such cases.
