J Urol. 1986 Dec;136(6):1320-2. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)45330-4.

Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare skin disorder that may at times involve the respiratory, gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems. We report 3 cases of epidermolysis bullosa involving the urinary tract. The radiographic evaluation of this entity and its relationship to other forms of obstructive uropathy are discussed along with a management plan for patients with genitourinary involvement owing to epidermolysis bullosa.
