ABSTRACT
Striae distensae is linear bands of atrophic or wrinkled skin, which is usually developed due to being overweight, pregnant or an endocrine alteration. Also, the prototype of striae distensae is observed as a linear band with skin atrophy. However, bullous type of striae distensae is rarely reported in the literature. The patient is a 27-year-old pregnant woman who had general edema and abdominal distension caused by systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and pregnancy. On the lower abdomen and thigh, she presented with bullous striae distensae resulted from collagen fiber disintegration induced by generalized edema as the secondary mechanism. We report a case of bullous striae distensae in a pregnant woman with SLE.
