title: Medical genetics:   Sporadic dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa with albopapuloid  and prurigo- and folliculitis-like lesions.
abstract: A case of sporadic dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) with albopapuloid and prurigo- and folliculitis-like lesions is reported. Histopathology of the scalp biopsy showed hyperkeratosis, a subepidermal cleft near the orifice of a hair follicle, dermal fibrosis, and a moderate perivascular and perifollicular lymphohistiocytic inflammatory cell infiltrate in the papillary dermis, without neutrophilic infiltrate in the orifice of the hair follicle. It is uncertain whether the present case should be classified as DEB pruriginosa or represents a new subtype of DEB.
