| bullous p. |
a usually mild, relatively benign, self-limited subepidermal blistering skin disease, sometimes with oral involvement, predominantly affecting the elderly, and characterized clinically by the presence of large, tense bullae that rupture and leave denuded areas, which have a tendency to heal spontaneously. It is characterized histologically by a cleft formation at the dermoepidermal junction, and immunofluorescent studies reveal deposition of complement, usually with immunoglobulin G, at the dermoepidermal junction at the level of the lamina lucida of the basement membrane.
