title: Localized bullous pemphigoid at urostomy site.
abstract: Localized bullous pemphigoid occurs in less than one-third of the cases of bullous pemphigoid and it usually appears on the shins. Localized bullous pemphigoid around a stoma site is very uncommon, with few reports in the literature. We report a case of localized bullous pemphigoid at urostomy site and we review its main characteristics. We highlight the importance of considering bullous pemphigoid in chronic bullous lesions on peristomal skin.
