Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune disorder resulting from the interaction between autoantibodies and desmoglein. Here, we report a case of PV developed after 5-aminolaevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT). The harmful and deleterious effects of UV radiation on the onset, during course, and perpetuation of PV have been observed for decades. Correlation between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and PV have also been reported. Oxidative proteins, which are modified by ROS, and subsequent production of antibodies by immune system seem to be responsible for PV developed following ALA-PDT. We emphasize that ALA-PDT should be added to the list of possible factors triggering PV and this condition should be considered if blistering arises following ALA-PDT.

D002280 Carcinoma, Basal Cell A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.
