A case of pemphigus vegetans-Hallopeau type

Abstract

Pemphigus is a serious, chronic, vesiculobullous disease that may affect skin and mucous membranes.
The four major forms of pemphigus are pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus vegetans, pemphigus foliaceus and pemphigus erythematosus.
Pemphigus vegetans is considered to be a variant of pemphigus vulgaris and there are two types of pemphigus vegetans: the types of Neumann and Hallopeau.
In this paper, a rare case of pemphigus vegetans-Hallopeau type was reported and the literature was reviewed.
