Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder seen in the pediatric and adult populations that is often linked to a medication, infection, or underlying gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, or autoimmune disease. In this study, we describe the case of a 23-year-old white man whose presentation and diagnosis of LABD ultimately led to the discovery of underlying primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and ulcerative colitis (UC). His dermatitis resolved with topical steroids and dapsone, and he is undergoing systemic treatment for his UC and PSC. This exceptional case further validates the association between LABD with UC, strengthens that with PSC, and underscores the importance of alerting clinicians to consider conducting a systemic workup in addition to thorough medication history on making the diagnosis of LABD.

Disseminated mucormycosis is a rare, opportunistic, and aggressive infection typically presenting in immunocompromised patients. Herein, we report a 55-year-old male with a past medical history of Philadelphia-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented with a 2-month history of non-painful necrotic ulcers on the nose, knuckles, elbow, foot, and scrotum following 3 months of voriconazole (VRC) exposure in the setting of an unrelated fungal pneumonia. Our case reinforces the virulent and often fatal nature of the disease amongst immunocompromised patients, along with extensive VRC exposure as a possible supplementary risk factor. Disseminated cutaneous mucormycosis should be regarded as a differential diagnosis in all immunocompromised patients, especially those with hematologic malignancies or a history of VRC use, who present with cutaneous ulcerations and eschars.
