Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Describes a new variant of inherited epidermolysis bullosa.
  • Elucidates the clinical, histologic, and ultrastructural features of this condition.

Observation:

  • Autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
  • Characterized by acral bullae.
  • Histologically demonstrates suprabasal clefting with acantholysis.

Findings:

  • Ultrastructural findings are nonspecific.
  • Findings are reminiscent of benign familial pemphigus.

Implications:

  • Acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare but distinct clinicopathologic entity.
  • Warrants inclusion in the nosologic classification of epidermolysis bullosa.
