Pemphigus herpetiformis (PH) is considered as an uncommon and mild variant of pemphigus. Here, we report the case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with intensely pruritic, annular crusted lesions with vesicles arranged in the periphery over the abdomen, back, and scalp. Cutaneous features were consistent with the clinical diagnosis of PH. However, she had certain unusual clinicoimmunopathological features. She also had oral erosions, which is a rare finding in this variant of pemphigus. The results of histopathological examination and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were also in line with the diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris. She responded well to dapsone with significant objective and subjective improvement in 1-week follow-up.
