T. Tsuchida et al., BULLOUS SYSTEMIC LUPUS-ERYTHEMATOSUS WITH CUTANEOUS MUCINOSIS AND LEUKOCYTOCLASTIC VASCULITIS, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 31(2), 1994, pp. 387-390
A 38-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus had nodular cutane
ous mucinosis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and a vesiculobullous erup
tion. Immunopathologic study of a bullous lesion revealed granular dep
osits of IgA and IgG along the basement membrane zone. Localization of
immune deposits to the lamina and sublamina densa was confirmed by im
munoelectron microscopy.
