EC32 Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01


Dystrophic (dermolytic) epidermolysis bullosa is due to defects in or absence of type VII collagen. As a result the anchoring fibrils which secure the epidermal basement membrane to the dermis are defective or absent. The severe recessive form causes extensive scarring and predisposes to aggressive squamous cell carcinoma.
