ABSTRACT
We report a case of familial benign chroinic pemphigus in a 47 year old man. We had tried various treatments but no effect had been noted with systemic steroids, tetracycline, cephalosporin, rifampin, dapsone, and local application with antibiotic ar..d eteroid ointment. Thus the patient was started on 50mg of etretinate(Tigason) daily and almost complete resolution of the skin lesions was noted two moths after treatment. He was maintained on 15mg of etretinate daily and follow up evaluations for six months revealed no recurrence and no exacerbation of the lesions.
