Abstract
Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disease characterized by bullae bo th in mucosa and on the skin. Palmar-plantar areas are rarely affected : only one case has been reported in the literature. We report here th e case of a 58-year-old woman with bullae on the buccal mucosa and whi ch spread over the skin surface including the palms. Despite corticost eroid and cyclophosphamide therapy the outcome was rapidly fatal.
