Association of Pemphigus Vulgaris and Tuberous Sclerosis: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Pemphigus vulgaris is a blistering autoimmune disease with suprabasal cleft formation, which is the most common autoimmune blistering disease in eastern countries, such as Middle East. Predisposition to pemphigus is linked to genetic factors. Tuberous sclerosis is also a genetic disorder of hamartoma formation in many organs, particularly the skin, brain, eye, kidney and heart. We report a 17-year-old boy with pemphigus vulgaris associated with tuberous sclerosis, which to our knowledge the first report of this association.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) was first described in the late 1800s as a relative of neurofibromatosis, but it has since been identified as a discrete disorder. Patients with TSC typically present with facial adenomas, seizure disorder, and a developmental disability. The syndrome is caused by mutations in either chromosomes 9 or 16, both of which code for cell development and maturation. Th...
