Abstract :
Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune blistering condition more
often than not associated with generalized lesions. Localized
Pemphigus foliaceus is a rare entity. Herein, we report a case
of pemphigus foliaceus localized on the face.
A 64-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with a 2-year
history of erythematous plaque on the right side of her face. The
histology report was compatible with pemphigus foliaceus. The
lesion improved completely in response to oral prednisolone at
40 mg daily.
Pemphigus foliaceus has to be suspected in presumed eczema that
is refractory to appropriate topical corticosteroid treatment. A
histopathologic study is required to establish localized pemphigus
foliaceus.
