Role of Oral Lesions in Diagnosing Generalised Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa- A Rare Case Report
Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of genetically determined, vesiculo-bullous disorders charÂacterized by blister formation in response to mechanical trauma. Three major subgroups, simplex, junctional, and dystrophic EB, contain more than 20 genetically and cliniÂcally distinct subtypes. In the present case, we described a patient diagnosed with a milder variant of generalised recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa with specific oral and cutaneous lesions, which was previously named as non-Hallopeau-Siemans subtype.
