Sumario:Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the skin and mucous membranes. The condition may be confused with a number of disorders, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and erythema multiforme (EM), all of which are life-threatening. Immunohistological and histochemical analyses remain the optimal methods for differentiating these diseases. There is still insufficient evidence regarding the true incidence rate of ocular disease in PV as well as its distinct clinical types. This report sets to review the case of a 62-year-old male with atypical ocular pemphigus vulgaris and review the literature.
