Abstract
Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune intraepidermal bullous diseases; being pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) the most common subtypes. Pustular variants are scarcely reported for both PV and PF. The purpose of this manuscript was to describe the clinical, microscopic and immunologic findings of an atypical case of PF presenting with pustules, including a review of the literature. PF is described as blisters and because this entity is rare, it is not known for the general medical community that they are other clinical features that can be seen as this one we present here with pustules.
