Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, a rare late complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation?

1992 
We report a rare disease of skin and oropharyngeal mucosa in a 28-year-old patient occurring 2 years after an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The dermatologic diagnosis was unambiguously epidermolysis bullosa acquisita according to the immunofluorescence and clinical presentation. Treatment with cyclosporin A and prednisone resulted in resolution. This autoimmune skin disease may be a manifestation of graft-versus-host disease, but the relationship must remain speculative.
