Localized pretibial pemphigoid associated with trichilemmal carcinoma.
We report a case of localized pretibial pemphigoid with concurrent trichilemmal carcinoma of the face in a 93-year-old women. Immunoblot analysis showed circulating autoantibodies against the 230 kDa antigen. After removal of the skin tumor, the bullous skin lesions were reduced and healed with only the topical application of corticosteroid.
