Concomitant occurrence of psoriasis and bullous pemphigoid was described in less than 100 cases in the literature. The co-occurrence affects the treatment approach of patients. We present a case of a 58-year-old man with psoriasis presenting with erythematous plaques, tense bullae, erosions and fever up to 39°C. Direct and indirect immunofluorescence and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. In our case, bullous eruptions were successfully treated with oral methylprednisolone and dapsone, and psoriasis with narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy and acitretin.
