Abstract
Stump pemphigoid is a localized variant of bullous pemphigoid characterized by specific clinical, pathological, and immunofluorescent characteristics. The early diagnosis of this entity guides treatment toward this specific immunologically mediated inflammatory process and away from treatment of unrelated conditions with similar clinical findings.
