Abstract
Pemphigus is a known but rare autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering condition. It has four variants; pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceous, IgA pemphigus, and paraneoplastic pemphigus. There has been very few case reports about the occurrence of both p.vulgaris and p. foliaceus in the same patient. We report a case having concomitant P.vulgaris of oral mucosa and P. foliaceus of chest and back.
