Abstract:
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by blistering of the skin as a result of minor trauma. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptomatology, histopathology, and genetic studies. Major types of EB previously include epidermolysis bullosa simplex, hemidesmosomal epidermolysis bullosa, junctional epidermolysis bullosa, and dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EBD), based on the level of tissue separation within the cutaneous basement membrane zone. [1], [2] We report an adolescent with EBD with an esophageal complication.
