Abstract | BACKGROUND:
Kindler syndrome is a rare, autosomal-recessive skin disease characterized by bullous poikiloderma. Mucosal manifestations are common that involve the oral cavity, esophagus, urethra and genital organs. CASE REPORT: CONCLUSION: Pregnancy did not exacerbate the cutaneous symptoms of Kindler syndrome in this case. Cesarean delivery may be necessary in cases with severe genital lesions besides obstetrical indications. Careful perioperative management is needed to protect vulnerable skin and mucosa.
