Abstract

Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a disease characterized by tense bullae arising on lichen planus papules and on clinically uninvolved skin, lichenoid infiltration and subepidermal bulla in histopathology, and linear deposits of IgG and C3 along basal membrane zone on direct immunofluorescence. This rare bullous dermatosis is usually idiopathic. However, in a few cases in the literature, it has been reported to be induced by hepatitis B, malignancies, phototherapy and some medications such as ramipril, captopril, cinnarizine and simvastatin. We reported a 35-year-old woman with LPP possibly induced by bisoprolol. (Turkderm 2012; 46:101-3)
