J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2003 Mar;17(2):200-3. doi: 10.1046/j.1468-3083.2003.00606.x.

Abstract

Cutaneous graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the most common clinical setting for GVHD after bone marrow transplantation. Chronic cutaneous GVHD is categorized according to the type of skin lesions into lichenoid and sclerodermoid variants, but bullous scleroderma-like changes are exceptional. Recently, we studied a patient with these alterations. This is the second case described in the literature.
