Nécessité d’une exérèse complète des tissus lésés dans les épidermolyses bulleuses : suivi sur dix ans d’une patiente multigreffée

Abstract

We present the case of a patient suffering from dominantly inherited dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and followed over a period of ten years. Skin lesions of this patient have been treated with multiple thin skin grafts applied over Integra®. The experience proved that, in order to have a perfect graft take, it was necessary to remove all the affected tissues, which includes an abnormally thickened dermis, and also a portion of the subcutaneous tissue.
