Résumé
Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune condition whereby the immune system forms antibodies that target the skin, resulting in the formation of blisters in a generalized and symmetric pattern. Localized bullous pemphigoid can occur in special circumstances. Here, we describe two patients that developed localized bullous pemphigoid in one lower extremity following orthopedic surgery. We propose that underlying edema following orthopedic surgery is a potential trigger for localized bullous pemphigoid.
