    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bullous pemphigoid can mimic prurigo nodularis, presenting a diagnostic challenge. Immunofluorescence confirmed bullous pemphigoid with IgG and C3 deposition at the epidermal basement membrane zone.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunodermatology

    Background:

    • Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease.
    • Prurigo nodularis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by intensely itchy nodules.

    Observation:

    • A 59-year-old woman presented with clinical features suggestive of prurigo nodularis.
    • Skin biopsy revealed a nodular lesion.
    • Direct immunofluorescence showed linear IgG and C3 deposition at the epidermal basement membrane zone (EBMZ).
    • Indirect immunofluorescence detected circulating IgG pemphigoid antibodies against the EBMZ at a high titer (1:1,280).

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid exhibiting an unusual presentation mimicking prurigo nodularis.
    • Immunofluorescence findings were characteristic of bullous pemphigoid.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering bullous pemphigoid in the differential diagnosis of prurigo nodularis.
    • Accurate diagnosis through immunofluorescence is crucial for appropriate management and distinguishing this entity from other bullous pemphigoid variants.
