Lichen planus pemphigoides is a rare bullous disorder characterized by tense bullae on lichen planus lesions and on clinically uninvolved skin. A diagnosis of lichen planus pemphigoides is made on the basis of clinical, histologic, and immunopathologic evaluation. We describe a patient who had lichen planus pemphigoides of the skin and oral mucosa and briefly review the literature on this uncommon entity.
