Abstract
Pemphigus vegetans is a rare variant of pemphigus vulgaris that is characterized by vegetating lesions primarily in the flexures. A 49 year old male having chronic kidney disease had a vegetating growth of groin, perianal area and over scalp for the last 6 months and was clinically diagnosed as multicentric squamous cell carcinoma and after skin biopsy it was diagnosed as pemphigus vegetans of Hallopeau as histology showed intraepidermal eosinophilic abscess and acanthosis and responded dramatically by systemic steroids.
Keywords: Pemphigus Vegetans, Pemphigus Vulgaris, Hallopeau.
