Abstract	:	Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common pemphigoid disorder, which is localized in approximately 16-29% <a>of cases. A small subset of localized BP cases is associated with prior radiation therapy, most commonly for breast carcinoma. We present a patient with an unusual presentation of local</a>i<a>zed BP after receiving partial accelerated breast irradiation (a type of brachytherapy that has a decreased amount of radiation to</a> the skin as compared to the more common external beam radiation therapy).
