Abstract Striae distensae is a common cutaneous phenomenon that begins as reddish linear atrophic plaques (striae rubra) that over time progress to silvery‐white coloration (stria alba). Striae distensae in rare occasions becomes edematous, ulcerative, emphysematous, or urticated. Bullous striae distensae is a sequela of conditions causing interstitial edema along with systemic glucocorticoids use. To our knowledge, only eight cases of bullous striae distensae have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a 17‐year‐old female, known case of nephrotic syndrome, presented to our clinic with abdominal fluid‐fill cutaneous lesions only for 5 days. She had used systemic glucocorticoids for more than a decade before she was labeled as steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Cushingoid body habitus were observed during physical examination, in addition to translucent bullae overlying her previously known stretch marks. Punch biopsy of the lesions revealed dermal edema with thinned collagen bundles. Based on these clinicopathological findings, a diagnosis of bullous striae distensae was made. Awareness of this rare complication and unusual clinical presentation is fundamental to avoid unnecessary and excessive interventions whether investigatory or therapeutic in order to provide appropriate management of the underlying condition. |
