Bullous skin lesion in familial Mediterranean fever.
An unusual painful bullous skin lesion of the foot occurred in a 49-year-old woman as the only clinical manifestation of familial Mediterranean fever. The lesion preceded other symptoms of the disease by several years and responded only to treatment with colchicine. Recognition of this peculiar skin lesion may lead to an earlier diagnosis of the disease.
