Atypical Presentation of a Multisystem Disorder: Bullous Pemphigoid Masquerading as Pharyngitis

Abstract

Bullous pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune blistering disease, presenting in older population with the classical skin blisters. We describe a case in which a 44 years old male presented without the typical skin manifestations of bullous pemphigoid making diagnosis extremely challenging. Accurate and timely diagnosis is the key to start appropriate treatment to prevent disabling complications of this disease.
