Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with known various comorbidities including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Bullous pemphigoid is autoimmune bullous skin disease commonly diagnosed in elderly patients. Cases with psoriasis vulgaris with concomitant bullous pemphigoid were rarely reported. Herein, we present a case of 47-year-old Korean male diagnosed as psoriasis vulgaris with concomitant bullous pemphigoid. The patient presented with pruritic multiple scaly erythematous plaques and bullae on the whole body developed 5 days ago. The patient was diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris 30 years ago. Based on the histopathological examination with direct immunofluorescence, diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris with concomitant bullous pemphigoid was made. After treatment of narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy and oral acitretin (20~60 mg) for 4 months, both psoriasis and bullous pemphigoid lesions showed improvement. We further reviewed relevant literatures regarding epidemiology, clinical findings, pathogenesis, and treatments in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and concomitant bullous pemphigoid.
