Abstract:
We report a 38-year-old woman with myoma uteri and bullous pemphigoid controlled by oral prednisolone (7.5 mg.day-1). She underwent transabdominal hysterectomy under epidural anesthesia using mepivacaine supplemented with intravenous midazolam and butorphanol, without untoward event. On the postoperative day 2, recurrence of bullous pemphigoid was noted. The skin lesion of pemphigoid was improved after increasing the prednisolone dose up to 60 mg a day.
