BULLOUS DISORDERS & MALIGNANT CUTANEOUS TUMORS
The Miscellaneous Blistering Disorders
Mar
2004
Vol. 23. No. 1
Historically, the classification of the blistering disorders has been arbitrarily assigned by common clinical features (ie, vesicle, bullae), etiologic factors (ie, infectious, immunologic), or histologic parameters (ie, intraepidermal and subepidermal). There are distinct advantages to each of these classification systems, yet there remain a small number of either common conditions that rarely manifests as a blistering disorder or uncommon conditions that routinely blister, defying conventional classification. Such misfits comprise a miscellaneous group of blistering conditions that merit special consideration.
