Junctional epidermolysis bullosa with urethral stricture.
We present a case of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (EB) associated with urethral tract involvement. He was a 27-year-old man who had symblepharon of the right eye, hoarseness and urethral stricture in addition to generalized blister formation. Ultrastructural examination of a biopsy skin specimen demonstrated the characteristic morphology of junctional epidermolysis, a form of EB that has not been previously associated with urethral stricture.
