Pemphigus erythematosus with suprabasilar acantholysis and lichenoid tissue reaction or a combination of pemphigus vulgaris and lupus erythematosus: a new entity?
We present a 36-year-old woman with pemphigus erythematosus that showed histopathologically supra-basilar acantholysis and lichenoid tissue reaction. To our knowledge this is the first case of pemphigus erythematosus with such unusual histopathologic presentation to be reported.
