Pemphigus vegetans was diagnosed in a 12-year-old boy based on clinical, histopathological and immunohistological findings. To our knowledge, this is the first case of juvenile pemphigus vegetans to be published in the literature. Suggested treatment with prednisone and azathioprine was refused, and the patient was treated with a decoction of herbs prescribed by a practitioner of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. This treatment gave excellent results. Possible active components of the treatment are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on vulvar acantholytic dyskeratoses, which are rare skin conditions affecting the vulva and perineum, with a goal to improve classification and understanding for gynecologic pathologists.
- Between 1990 and 2023, 16 cases of vulvar acantholytic dyskeratoses were analyzed, mostly affecting women aged 36 to 79, with many presenting asymptomatic or pruritic lesions predominantly on the labia majora.
- Histologically, these conditions showed features like acantholysis, with some patients responding to local excision or corticosteroids; however, no clear distinction was found between sporadic and syndromic cases based on
