Pemphigus foliaceus transforming to pemphigus vulgaris: a case report
Pemphigus represents a family of acantholytic autoimmune vesiculobullous diseases. It is classified into multiple subtypes, the two most common of which are pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus. The transition between these two subtypes is uncommon. In this report, we discuss a unique case of biopsy-proven pemphigus foliaceus transitioning to pemphigus vulgaris.
