Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic disease that is characterized by flaccid blisters and erosions, caused by immunoglobulin G autoantibodies against epidermal components. It is highly unusual in the pediatric population; it represents the 1.4 - 2.9% of the total cases. We present a case of pemphigus vulgaris in a 12 year old girl, which has implied a challenge both in its diagnosis and in its treatment.
