A 60‐year‐old Japanese man with a five year history of bullous lesions associated with scar and milia is described. This case seemed to have an unusual type of bullous pemphigoid clinically, histologically and immunofluorescently, but was found to have epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) based on electron microscopic and immunoelectron microscopic findings, in which amorphous substance and immunological reaction products were detected mainly below the subbasal lamina‐anchoring fibril zone.
