Generalized pemphigus foliaceus in a 5-year-old Rafeiro do Alentejo. The lesions affected not just the face but also the abdominal wall, torso and limbs. Intact vesicles can be seen on the right-side image. The microscopy image (below) shows the contents of one of these vesicles, consisting in neutrophils and free round keratinocytes (acanthocytes) (H&E, 100x).
