Zusammenfassung:Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C) is a rare but serious inflammatory response associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection. Mucocutaneous findings are often present but remain poorly defined overall, and more precise dermatologic descriptions are not only necessary to better characterize this syndrome, but may also aid in early diagnosis and prevention of severe deterioration or death. We report the case of a 16‐month‐old boy presenting with a diffuse maculopapular eruption, cheilitis, and vesiculobullous lesions of the scrotum, perianal region, and distal lower extremities. Tense bullae of the genitals and lower extremities have not been previously reported in MIS‐C and add to the spectrum of skin findings associated with the disorder.
