Abstract EN
We report a case of Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA) that presented as a diagnostic challenge.
A 60-year-old Qatari lady presented with odynophagia, oral ulceration, and weight loss.
Multiple physicians investigated her for over 6 months with a multitude of tests and serial gastroscopies, all of which failed to reach a conclusive diagnosis.
Only after referral to a dermatologist and full body examination was diagnosis finally achieved.
After reviewing the literature, we provide a summary of EBA and highlight the importance of comprehensive clinical reviews in order to avoid unnecessary morbidity.
