Georgette Hattier, and Sarah Beggs, and Joya Sahu, and Joshua Trufant, and Elizabeth Jones

Koebnerization of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an infrequently reported reaction. We present a 65-year-old man with Koebnerized pemphigus vulgaris after Mohs microscopic surgery for a basal cell carcinoma. We present this case to heighten awareness of the phenomenon in the dermatological community.
