Article Synopsis
- Bullous pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune blistering skin disease that primarily affects older adults, with possible mucosal lesions in areas like the eyes and mouth in 10%-35% of cases.
- A 73-year-old woman with anemia from vitamin B12 deficiency was examined via esophagogastroduodenoscopy, revealing two blood-filled bullae and ulcerations in her upper esophagus.
- Although bullous pemphigoid is usually skin-related, esophageal involvement should be considered when patients exhibit related symptoms or unexplained anemia.
