Abstract
Lichen planus pemphigoides is a rare cross-over syndrome between lichen planus and bullous pemphigoid. Clinical manifestations of the disease include lichenoid papules, plaques, and tense blister on the skin. Nail atrophy, loss of the nail plate, and white streaks on the buccal or outer genital mucosa can be found. Histopathology of a lichenoid lesion shows band-like lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate in the upper dermis, while that of a bullous lesion shows a subepidermal blister. On immunology, IgG and C3 deposition are found at the dermal-epidermal junction zone; BP180 reveals a positive outcome. Here we reported a case of lichen planus pemphigoides.
