Pemphigoid nodularis
Abstract:
We here report the unusual occurrence of bullous pemphigoid mimicking prurigo nodularis in a 59-year-old woman. Direct immunofluorescence studies of a nodular lesion revealed linear deposition of IgG and C3 at the epidermal basement membrane zone (EBMZ). Indirect immunofluorescence studies of serum revealed IgG pemphigoid antibasement membrane zone antibodies in 1:1,280 titer. This entity can be distinguished from other bullous pemphigoid variants.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
