Histological characteristics of canine pemphigus vegetans. a: an acantholytic suprabasal cleft, typical of pemphigus vulgaris, is present in the prepucial skin and is associated with a single row of attached basal cells at its base (inset). Neutrophilic exocytosis and small pustule formation are present more superficially in the epidermis. Mixed neutrophilic and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation is in the submucosa; b: Multiple pemphigus foliaceus-type neutrophilic acantholytic pustules (inset) are present in the superficial and deep epidermis of the abdomen.
