Abstract
Pemphigus comprises a distinct group of vesiculobullous disorders. Clinically, pemphigus can be divided into four subgroups: pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus vegetans, pemphigus foliaceus, and pemphigus erythematosus. Pemphigus vegetans was first described in 1876 in a case of localized bullae that evolved into a verrucous plaque.1 This was followed by a similar widespread cutaneous and oral eruption. We describe a patient with pemphigus vegetans with verrucous masses limited to the oral cavity that was followed by a rapid spread to the lips.
