Summary
Localized bullous pemphigoid, a rare variant of bullous pemphigoid, can present around stoma sites. This case highlights the importance of considering this condition in chronic peristomal skin lesions.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Immunodermatology
Background:
- Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease.
- Localized bullous pemphigoid (LBP) accounts for less than one-third of BP cases, typically affecting the shins.
Observation:
- A rare presentation of localized bullous pemphigoid (LBP) occurred at a urostomy site.
- The patient developed chronic bullous lesions on the peristomal skin.
Findings:
- Localized bullous pemphigoid at a urostomy site is exceptionally uncommon.
- Review of literature reveals limited reports of this specific presentation.
Implications:
- Clinicians should consider LBP in the differential diagnosis of chronic bullous lesions around stomas.
- Early recognition and diagnosis of peristomal LBP are crucial for appropriate management.

01:21Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

01:24Ostomy Care
Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

01:27Peptic Ulcer
Peptic ulcers are erosive lesions of the gastric or duodenal lining, most commonly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. This Gram-negative, helical bacterium has adapted to survive the stomach’s acidic environment by producing urease, which converts urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia neutralizes gastric acid in the bacterium’s immediate environment, allowing colonization of the gastric mucosa. H. pylori attaches to mucus-secreting epithelial cells, penetrates the mucus...
01:30Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is characterized by mucosal excavation in the esophagus, stomach, pylorus, or duodenum. It can manifest as acute or chronic based on the extent and duration of mucosal involvement.
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

01:25Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Complications
Duodenal UlcersDuodenal ulcers are the most common form of peptic ulcer disease, presenting with chronic, intermittent epigastric pain. Pain typically appears 2–3 hours after meals, especially when the stomach is empty, often waking patients at night. It is characteristically relieved by food or antacids (“pain–food–relief”). Some patients remain asymptomatic until complications like bleeding or perforation emerge, particularly with NSAID or anticoagulant use.Gastric UlcersGastric ulcers share...
