We report a case of pemphigus vulgaris localized on the scalp in a 48-year-old woman who presented with several oozing crusted plaques for about 4 months. Scalp biopsy specimen showed suprabasal bulla and acantholysis in the epithelium and intercellular IgG deposition by the direct immunofluorescence. Circulating pemphigus antibodies were not detected. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids resulted in a remission, and there was no relapse for the following 7 months. (Korean J Dermatol 2000;38(10)：1420~1422)
