The term pemphigus is collectively used to describe a group of immunobullous disorders characterized by intraepidermal cleft and circulating antibodies against intercellular adhesion molecules. Pemphigus vegetans was first described as a variant of pemphigus vulgaris by Neumann in 1876. We report a case of 36-year-old female who presented with swelling of scalp, which was diagnosed as pemphigus by fine-needle aspiration cytology.
