[Seborrheic pemphigoid (Schnyder)].

Seborrheic pemphigoid first described by Schnyder is considered to be a clinical variant of bullous pemphigoid which resembles pemphigus erythematosus. Ruptured bullae and erosions covered with crusts involving predominantly the median parts of the trunc characterize the clinical picture. Histologic and immunofluorescence findings substantiate the diagnosis of pemphigoid. The clinical, histopathologic and immunofluorescence features as well as the course of the disease in a 74 year old woman are described.
