Autoimmune vesicles on the face and neck. A variant of Brunsting-Perry type localized bullous pemphigoid?

We report a case of blistering disease presenting a unique distribution of vesiculobullous lesions on the face and neck which is similar to Brunsting- Perry type of localized bullous pemphigoid (BP). Histopathology of a lesion al skin biopsy demonstrated a subepidermal blister. Direct immunofluorescen ce demonstrated a strong linear deposition of IgG and IgA to the basement m embrane zone, and a faint staining for C3. However, circulating antibodies were not detected by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoblotting. And th e patient did not develop atrophic scars and was relatively young woman. Th is case might be a variant of Brunsting-Perry type of localized BP or local ized epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, presenting the clinical heterogeneity of subepidermal blistering diseases.
