Abstract
Pemphigoid is a well-recognized cutaneous lesion, occurring rarely in peristomal skin. We report the diagnosis and successful treatment of localized pemphigoid lesions adjacent to a colostomy. We review the chart, immunofluorescence study, treatment, and follow-up of a patient with bullous lesions at a colostomy site. Pemphigoid of the pericolostomy skin was diagnosed by immunofluorescence study and successfully treated with antibiotic. Diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a bullous lesion adjacent to a colostomy site. Diagnosis is easily made, and treatment is simple and efficacious.
