Abstract
Pemphigus vegetans is a rare variant of pemphigus vulgaris characterized by periorificial papillomatous vegetations. We present the case of a 77-year-old female patient with a history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension who presented with painful verrucous lesions on her tongue. The examination revealed a cerebriform tongue with small, hard, confluent verrucous swellings, which is a well-known sign seen in pemphigus vegetans. A biopsy revealed acantholysis and absence of keratinocyte necrosis, leading to the diagnosis of Neumann-type pemphigus vegetans. The patient was prescribed prednisone and trichloroacetic acid, which resulted in successful treatment. Management of pemphigus vegetans should be individualized based on the patients clinical presentation and response to treatment.
