- dominant epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica
- dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa a group of relatively mild autosomal dominant forms of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica. There are two main variants: The more severe Pasini or albopapuloid variant is usually present at birth or in infancy, and is characterized by extensive blistering that heals to leave atrophic scarring and albopapuloid lesions, primarily on the skin over the joints and limbs but sometimes elsewhere; and frequent involvement of the mucous membranes, including the oral, esophageal, and pharyngeal mucosa. The less severe Cockayne-Touraine (dysplastic or hyperplastic) variant usually occurs in infancy or early childhood and is characterized by keratotic lesions that may show ichthyotic changes, generally confined to the extremities, which may heal with hypertrophic rather than atrophic scars. See also Bart syndrome, under syndrome.
